It was the first St Patrick’s Day dinner I had attended as a volunteer or otherwise, and it was a fun night… as Nev Wells said… he likes to give the punters value for money and it was that indeed…
Kay and Veronica were there for Karuna, as was Frank Curran, current president of the Knights of the Southern Cross, Everton Park Branch (the organisers). Many remarked on the delicious food (truly a St Patricks day feast… including Guiness Pie), and the efficiency of the volunteer waiting staff!!
Nev Wells (Branch Secretary) is a true entertainer, telling stories, jokes, singing and running many raffles as well. On top of this we were delighted by Irish dancing and the wonderful singing of Sue Wighton.
The Knights of the Southern Cross have been running St Patrick’s Day dinners for Karuna for 8 years now and have raised over $30,000 for us.
This is an extraordinary achievement and we are very grateful for this ongoing support.
