After a hiatus of many years, an old Golden Hill tradition was reborn last Saturday night as our school hall was transformed into a country barn, and an enthusiastic and generous crowd came along to dosy-do and promenade their way through the night, with breaks to enjoy delicious soups, savouries and cakes washed down with cuppas and water. The wonderful Mike Hyder and band along with our own Golden Hill Fiddlers entertained the crowd and got everyone up dancing!

From the seed of Mary-Lou's idea, a wonderful community gathering became a celebration of the one hundredth anniversary of the first Waldorf/Steiner school, which was also a way to raise much-needed funds for a very isolated Steiner Kindergarten in Kerala, South India.

Thank you, thank you to everyone who gave so generously to enable this very successful event.

A big thank you and a bouquet to; Rosie, Kylie and Carol who transformed our school hall into a beautifully stylish country barn, it looked fabulous and created a perfect atmosphere.

Thank you to the wonderful music makers, and the children who performed Thank you to Jacqui for organising the urn, new tablecloths, and hanging the bunting.

Thank you to all the parents who brought along delicious food (and in some cases bought their own food back!) Thank you to all who helped out in the very busy kitchen, and with packing up afterwards A total of more than $1300 has been raised for Bonafide Kindergarten. 

The staff there are overwhelmed and deeply grateful for the support. 

These funds will be sent directly to the Indian branch of Mercurius (Steiner schools supplier) to enable them to have their year's supplies. Kayana, the head teacher at Bonafide told me that the support restores her faith in humanity!

Thank you to everyone, and sincere apologies if I have missed anyone

Warmly Denise
