Dear <<First Name>>
What an amazing month it has been ! The Blue Mountains were turned into a winter wonderland when we experienced a freak snowstorm earlier this month. Perfect spring weather one day and snow fields and snow angels the next. When asked by guests "how should we dress when we come up to the Blue Mountains, Lorraine", my response of "dress for four seasons, as you never know what you're going to experience" is the best way to sum up this most accessible wilderness.
As a volunteer in the 50th Leura Garden Festival, I spent two glorious days meeting some wonderful owners who graciously opened their gardens to visitors from far and wide. Thirteen gardens spanning over nine days with all proceeds going to the Blue Mountains District Hospital. 50 years of spring in the Blue Mountains - simply blooming marvellous is all I had to say at the end of it all!
The countdown to Christmas is on and another shock horror reminder, it's only ......
48 days until Christmas!

PLEASE HELP ME make a difference this weekend
Over this coming weekend, 8th and 9th November, I'll be participating once again in The Weekend to End Women's Cancers benefiting the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse at RPA. It is a Weekend that I am absolutely committed to and hence here I am doing it again. Last year we raised $4,250 and I am determined to help make a difference once again this year. It's a Weekend to remember those lives we have lost to breast or gynaecologic cancer and a Weekend to celebrate the lives we are saving. Each dollar raised will support the development of the Chris O'Brien Lifehouse at RPA, a world-class centre that is transforming cancer treatment for Australians in an environment thriving on discovery, research and uncompromising care. The Lifehouse is providing recovery facilities designed to maximise a patient's ability to beat this wretched disease. This is a Weekend creating hope for every woman's future. Already our funding from last year has contributed to the building of The Chris O'Brien Lifehouse
HELP ME make a difference and PLEASE make your donation here. It's not too late and your donation is so desperately needed and so graciously accepted. Thank you.
