Food and Cultural Fest - Thanks and Success!

What a fantastic day we had on Sunday! Thanks to all the families who joined in (and to the weather for coming to the party!). We appreciate all those who helped with stalls, sponsorship, bringing children to perform and staying to buy food and enjoy the entertainment. Special thanks to the organising committee who put in a huge amount of work. It was such a great chance to get together and enjoy the diversity of our community. We are thrilled to have raised $8,500. Photos from the event below and also in the separate  Food festival article.
