Are we nearly in June?????

Well, we've just had our regular Monday meeting. For once, we were ALMOST on time....So what's the gossip???
KERRE WOODHAM has been confirmed as our MC for the evening - we have a HUGE thank you for Kerre for accepting and to Annah Stretton for arranging it all. Sass has been organised to do the desserts - and for the locals amongst us, Sass is nurse Jane Reas' daughter who has worked all over the world as a pastry chef. Deosan have come on board as a major financial sponsor, and although details are being finalised, they are actually as excited about supporting breast cancer as we are. A massive thank you to Deosan. We're going to feature in the Urban Country magazine pushing the rural part of our quest, and slowly but surely all parts of the jigsaw are coming together. Nathan from Hamilton Party Hire came to see Annie this week, and it was apparent that a bigger marquee was needed - thank you Nathan for all of your help, and our final artists have come on board - Fire Works of Putaruru have confirmed their piece for the auction. We're slowly getting the website ready with details of the auction and the facility for us to link any out of town prospective buyers with a bidder on your behalf - we wouldn't want you to miss out. Word out on the street on dress code is varied - from Annah Stretton & Trelise Cooper pink creations to old pink high school ball gowns and some of the most bizzare fancy dresses we have ever heard of and yes - jeans & tee shirts are allowed HOWEVER you must have SOMETHING pink on, or you will be "issued" with regulation something pink...

As soon as we've finalised everything for our auction, we'll be able to list them all and then the website will probably go live at the beginning of September.

Dean Gittings our local Arapuni signwriter has very kinly donated his services to paint the container on the way out of town to get everyone to Google Putaruru Think Pink - just in time for the Field Day traffic, so thank you Dean for the invaluable advertisement.

Last week, we had a wine flown in from Aussie that had the perfect packaging for us, and it was tasted over lunch. The packaging was perfect, but Nat and I thought the pink sparkly was "bloody awful". Nat said that she was taken back to being a 16 year old and buying cheap $5 bottles of spumante, I for once was speachless, although my screwed up face told the story and Anne White said that she actually liked it so it must be bad because her taste in wine was sweet & sickly. A unanimous decision was made to buy local and stick to Kiwi wines...YAY

So another week ahead, and a huge push for sponsors - if only we weren't so finiky - lol..........
