I recently returned from a trip to London, where we held a 'Friends of Shine London' fundraiser. Karen Taylor organised a magnificent evening of music by the Kings Wimbledon players for 60 appreciative friends.
Many thanks to the musicians, Mark, Leandro and Helena for a sublime evening.The proceeds of the event went to the Shine Centre. We raised approximately 1400 pounds sterling (still counting).
A big thank you to Karen for her tireless work, her husband, Russell, for the support he shows us in so many ways, and to Gayle and Christian for hosting the evening.
I want to also add a special thank you to Victoria Wall for donating the wine for the evening.
In addition, there was a wonderful team of helpers who offered a delicious feast of canapes to add to our enjoyment.
This was a true team effort, and we very much appreciate our friends so far away helping us with the work we do. It was an outstanding evening!
