An incredible response!!

Well Saturday was the big day of --
"The Great  Wheel Chair BBQ"

and what a day it was, Luke and Nicole from
Savemore in Bentleigh, had gone to so much trouble.
I believe Luke was seen cutting onion rings with goggles on!!
Only a man would do that.
As you can see by the picture above, we also had beautiful gingerbread men ,
made by Gabe and packed by Indie,Jess and myself.
They looked beautiful and tasted even better.
 Here is the sausage sizzle area,
and
 the gingerbread area, with my great salesman and friends.
Midnight stayed by my side for 4/5 hours,without complaining.
People came to pat him and then bought gingerbread.
Our biggest customer was Kate,
she took the last NINE packs!!
Here we are waiting patiently for our first customer.
 Poor Edd, none gave him any gingerbread!
its a tough life being a poodle.

Here is my beautiful boy selling sausages,
look at those eyes,
how could anyone resist.

It was a wonderful day,
I met some very generous people,
who happily gave money to help someone, 
who most of them didn't even know.
There was the old lady who was diabetic, she wanted to buy a sausage for Midnight and when I said he was not allowed to eat them said she would put the money in anyway.
The person who put money in my tin so I would not end up in a nursing home like her husband.
The family who donated because they like seeing me and Middi running along the bike path together.

So many beautiful messages of support,
too many to mention, but all precious to me.

How much did we raise??

$927.10
Thank you, everyone.
 
Thank you to you also Big Boy!!
