White Magic Fundraiser Update 

We would like to say a big thank you to everyone who helped support this wonderful event and made it such a great success!
 
 
White Magic 2009 saw us raise a fantastic total of AUD $7,000 and this money will be hand delivered to A.S.C.E.P. by Tarcisio and Jada in March this year.
 
The creché will benefit greatly from these funds, and we'll keep you updated with their progress!
