Thank you very much for a great event on Saturday for Alpha Children's Centre. Everyone had a great time and the committee members were all really pleased with the range of questions and the way you and Scott presented everything.
We made around $6000 profit which is a fantastic result and will pay for all the outdoor play equipment we need, as well as a few other really important things.

Alpha Children's Centre (2011)
Thank you once again for the great night. It turned out profitable and everyone that came had a terrific night - even my family who spent a small fortune.  but they enjoyed it. Hope to do it again next year. Thank you once again.
