Each One Matters

… do I?

Monday night Hubby and I went to a fundraising dinner for Queensland chaplaincy – the above was the tagline for the evening. We were invited for a (free) dinner (donations were taken during the evening), with entertainment… we had a great time!
Throughout the evening we heard about the work chaplains do in schools, and heard from kids who had been helped through tough situations. I’m glad I got to hear, and have a greater understanding of the roles and difficulties – and rewards! of chaplaincy… if you want more information, go to –

It was a fun evening – good food, meeting new people… the entertainment for the evening was Marcia Hines… I tried to find a YouTube to post here, but they were all from old (70s) concerts, or badly taped. You probably had to be there 😀 I almost got up to dance….
Deep Blue 7 also played… here’s a clip from Australia’s Got Talent –

They also have a Young Blue programme, where they hold workshops for kids…I wish they’d been around when I was a kid learning violin 😀

One of the fun things… two of the people who were supposed to come couldn’t make it, and their food was organised anyway…. the friend who invited us, and my hubby, decided that it would be a shame to let it go to waste, so they went out onto the street (we were at South Bank Convention Centre) and invited a couple of blokes, on their way home from karate class, in for a free meal. They had a great evening… and a better meal than they were expecting 😀
Lots of fun, interesting conversations… and we got to nick abandoned chocolates off the tables on our way out (shh – don’t tell anyone!) What more could you ask for?
