Mothers Day Options that also Help Sick Kids!!

Don't forget if you are planning on sending flowers to Mum, Grandma, Nanna or anyone next week ....or for birthdays, love-you's, or for no reason at all............check out this link and if you order through the RCHF page the Foundation receives 20% of the flower cost!  http://www.flowersforcharity.com.au/charities.htm

Also the 2010 / 2011 Entertainment Books have now arrived! – Just in time for Mother’s Day too! Perfect for those who are struggling to think of a a gift Mum will actually use (unlike the old foot spa in the cupboard).

Not only is it a great gift for mum but the Foundation will receive $13 from the sale of each book! See reception for an order form.
