Ninety guests (some pictured here) wined and dined and we thank them all for coming. We also thank guest speaker, SWH executive director of Nursing & Maternity Services Sue Anderton, and the following businesses and people whose donations of goods ensured such a profitable outcome: The Ark Garden, Illowa; Jude Coffee, Warrnambool; Di Goodall; Sue Morgan; Pontings and Relax & Entertain, Warrnambool; The Paper Store, Port Fairy; Alison Ridley; Warrnambool Golf Club; and Yo-Dough Hamper Co, Warrnambool.
The money raised will help us buy our first-ever Maternity Unit fleet of epidural-specific infusion pumps. Worth $3,200 each, we want four. The Allansford CWA has paid for one. The Warrnambool Auxiliary has so far funded two and hopes to raise the money for a third via its final fundraiser for 2024: a screening of *The Fabulous Four* at the Warrnambool Capitol Cinema on November 14.
