It is only fair that as a community we make sure that the love circles back, so if you need a plumber for any size job, are doing renovations, need gas fitting, better drainage or more green plumbing options, or you have an emergency on your hands – give Karen and Dean a call on 0427 625 716.  They are available 24/7 and provide exceptional service.  http://dkeganplumbing.com.au/

 MSP Photography not only make our kids look well dressed and well behaved; they have also sponsored the second prize in the raffle: a champagne balloon flight for two people on any day of the week valued at $760.  You know those gorgeous photos of hot air balloons floating over the lake near Telstra Tower – THAT COULD BE YOU!

It has to be said that Jenny and Graham are lovely people, and they love helping kids and their families remember their school days.  Huge thanks to them for sponsoring this prize and also for making our kids look great on our walls.
