🌞 Sunshine Linus November Meeting & Christmas Party 🎄🎅

Our final Sunshine Linus meeting for the year was highly productive. We began with our regular monthly meeting before finalising the distribution list and preparing all the items for delivery. 

In the coming week, more than 20 local hospitals, palliative care facilities, and community organisations will receive the items they have requested. Each item has been made with care by our Sunshine Linus community.

Denise was busy with the distribution list.

Our end-of-year celebration started with a shared lunch. Thank you to Bonnie and Leonie for coordinating lunch, decorating the tables, cleaning up and ensuring everything went smoothly. 🍰🥗🧁

After lunch, the fun began with Christmas games organised by Glorianne and Carole. There were plenty of smiles, a bit of friendly competition, and we were reminded that Sunshine Linus truly is a wonderful community. ✨

Thank you to everyone who contributed throughout the year. Your commitment, generosity, and skills continue to make a significant difference. 💕

Wishing you all a safe, happy, and restful holiday season.

See you in the New Year! 🎄🌟
