From the Parents and Friends

The P&F has had a huge week, kicking off with our traditional Fathers Days Breakfast and Gift Stall last Friday. It’s always an early start for our Fathers Day breakfast, and this year the rain decided to join us ….  but we filled the MPH with 320 dads and grandads who started their day with a hot breakfast lovingly prepared by our mum volunteers (and one dad) and wonderful coffee courtesy of BILLER PROPERTY.

An extra big thank you to those mums and dads that were up too early to even mention on Friday morning and the Canteen ladies for the use of the canteen.

Thanks also to NUDIE juices for supplying their yummy products yet again and to Michelle Stockley and her team of helpers at the Fathers Day Gift Stall who always have a huge smile on their faces when helping the kids choose from the great gifts we had on offer.

We sincerely hope you had a great Fathers Day!

Immediately after Fathers Day, we set up for the Trivia event 

What a tremendous night …..

Saturday night’s Trivia Night brought together over 270 families and friends of the Emanuel community to share in a night of fun, laughter, good food and fundraising. The MPH was spilling over with the sounds of laughter as we exceeded our target of attendees for the night – thank you !

We have been bowled over by the wonderful feedback and messages of thanks and gratitude – Everyone made a great effort with their theme and congratulations to the “CHESS” team that won best themed table and “THE BLONDES” team that won the Trivia.

Whilst there are too many people to thank individually, an extra special thanks must be given to Andrew Klein our MC/Trivia host who did the most tremendous job – as always!  He is a star in every way, volunteering his time to put together a wonderful night of entertainment.

Our volunteers worked tirelessly this weekend, over long long hours leading up to the event and Sharon and I must thank each and every member of the planning committee who hand-made cookies, prepared decorations, spent hours shopping, planning, sewing and printing. You are all the most amazing ladies to work with.

Thank you : Jen Opit, Michelle Stockley, Suzanne Itzkowitz, Andy Bromberger, Jo Rose, Dan Freed, Ruby Berkowitz and Samantha Butt.  Thank you also to Yvette Binneter who sold close to $2,000 worth of raffle tickets on the night and our team of 20 High School Madrichim who also volunteered their precious time on a Saturday night to help out –  you made our school proud.

We almost forgot – one more thank you to the wonderful Maintenance team !

Farewell …..

We would like to take this opportunity to bid farewell to Renee Levy who has been a member of the P&F for many, many years.  As her last child is in Year 12, last night she attended her last P&F meeting.  Renee, thank you for all your passionate work over the years, always turning up to meetings full of enthusiasm and wonderful ideas.  We will miss your happy face and contributions, and wish you and your son good luck with his upcoming HSC.

Thank you
Susie and Sharon
