Tim Writes

A huge thank you to
Nancy for co-ordinating,
to Pauline, Nolene,
Janice, Lesta, Dalma,
Gwen and Joyce for
helping on the two days and also to all
those who baked for the Synod
afternoon teas. It was a stupendous
job and I know we excelled ourselves
in the quantity and quality of the food
produced. Several remarked on a job
well done by our folk. So thank you
everyone you did us proud. We will be
receiving part of the funding allocated
to making Synod happen in due
course.
