In the last six months with our fundraising and donations we have raised a total of $2,250.00. Again thank you everyone for your support and we'll let you know when our next fundraiser is imminent.

Annual AGM - Sunday 3 March  Summer in the Cote d'Azur? We are former residents of Lovett Bay and have recently rented in Elvina and done house swaps with a friend in Coasters. We now live half the year in Nice in the south of France and half the year here in Sydney. We are here now until late March and will be returning to Sydney in August. Our lovely 2 bedroom apartment overlooking the Mediterranean and the harbour of Nice will be empty from then until February 2014.
Would anyone be interested in doing a house swap for any of that time? August is the busiest month there, but the height of the tourist season; from September it quietens down. And the autumn/winter months are rather like here in climate. We can be contacted on christine.wild@me.com or 0487 630 711. Chris Wild and Martin Bayliss Missed out on a Newsletter?
