Breakfast in the Park – Sunday 22 November
What a fantastic day we had on Sunday - Breakfast in the Park 2015 was a great success.
To deliver a big event, like this, requires a meaningful purpose (ShelterBox), detailed planning and a large
team of coordinated workers.
The efforts of Morialta members and partners/family who dedicated their time this year was significant.
A big thank you to all members of the team who worked on both Saturday and Sunday, to help make this
fundraising project a success.
Early figures $$ indicate:
The Raffle made a profit of $866.
The Auction $325.
We received a donation to ShelterBox of $100 from an attendee.
Breakfast in the Park - could be up to $3000.
This was achieved by 22 Morialta members and 8 Partners/ Family members on the day.
I would also like to acknowledge the significant contribution made by our two event leaders Adel and
Graeme.
We have a busy period ahead before Christmas
