How lovely to see everyone out and about over the Jacaranda Festival. The trees were spectacular as usual and lots of events for everyone.
Our window display was amazing, thank you Carol & Shirley, our ladies dressed in purple on Thursday with special appearance from Dame Edna, the mature aged Jaca Queen and a groovy hippie from the 70’s. We also entered in the ‘spot it’ competition, hope you had fun finding the speckled frog. Overall, we had a successful week with lots of people visiting the shop, some for the first time and of course our regular customers.
Last week we were presented with a $2000 cheque from the Grafton Vintage Car Club which will be used to purchase a Masimo Rad -7 sensor (oximeter) & Docking Station for the Maternity Unit. A big thank you to the club who raised the money at their Motorfest 2022 and chose the UHA to donate too. Thanks also for showing us around your club house, what a great set up you have. Toni, Carol and I enjoyed having a chat to your members. The camping & caravanning grounds look amazing.
