A note from President Lynn:
Hi everyone,
I just want to say thank you so much to those who were able to come and join us in catering for Sweet Louise on Saturday. Everyone did a great job and I was delighted that we presented ourselves very professionally. We certainly had lots of food so we were able to do ourselves proud. I know that there were many compliments on the day and Lesley was delighted with what we put on.
Thank you for those who made delicious sandwiches and cheese and crackers, arranged for slices from Rangiora Bakery, collected from the bakery, bought savouries, bought gloves for us to use, found us some fantastic coffee, and bought juice, and showed up to help out. It made everything so easy on the day. To those who could not make it for many reasons, we hope that if we get to do this again next year that you can join us.
Regards
Lynn
A letter of thanks from Sweet Louise:
Dear Lynn,
On behalf of us all at Sweet Louise I would like to pass on the biggest thankyou to the Christchurch North Zonta team for helping us to make our Sweet Louise Members Day a great success.
I have already received some beautiful words of appreciation from some of the participants of how nurtured they felt by everyone on the day, and how kind everyone was.
The food options and the overall presentation was just simply perfect.
Thank you again!
Kindest regards
Lesley Narayanan
