And finally THANK YOU to everyone who came along, to those who donated to the SMART Prebend Centre and to the successful bidders in the auction.
Denise, a guest on the night and SMART Prebend Centre supporter said “A few of the girls came as a sort of early Christmas get together. We travelled a long way to support the event, but it was well worth it! We had great fun, dancing into the night, we can’t wait until next year!”
Lisa Harrison, SMART Area Manger and the organiser of the dinner dance said “I’m grateful to everyone who supported us with the dinner dance, it was lovely to see so many people having fun and getting behind the SMART Prebend Centre, we are still receiving donations.”
