DID YOU KNOW? We help patients who suffer from Cancer, a variety of other terminal and chronic illnesses and HIV/AIDS.
The Hospice Garden Festival held on Saturday the 21st of September at Montecello’s was quite successful. We would like to say a very huge thank you to the following for all their contributions. Anita and Craig for the catering for the Gin and Food pairing which was a very popular event. To Maureen, Jean and their helpers for providing all the tea, coffee and the scrumptious cakes. To Davy Mac for supplying the music and to Tony Hunter for donating a barrel of his “Blond” beer. The auction did not go quite as planned this year but thanks to Nikki Franceschi items were sold on a spot auction. Thanks to Rob Verhamme from the Brenton Succulent Nursery for the donation of plants and Wendy and all the other gardeners who kindly donated plants. This event could not have taken place without the wonderful Hospice volunteers who worked tirelessly on the day and the support from the community. Lastly thanks to Anita and her husband Craig once again for all they did to make this event possible.
