Notes on the run
Well. It’s actually notes on the plane today. Just about to start back over the Pacific and home again. Looking forward to next week (or is that this week...).
 
I haven't heard how people went with the ANZAC eve lanterns. I do hope that it went well.
 
We are busy planning for harmony day celebrations coming up soon and the new community service awards.
 
Before I see everyone on Thursday, I will have visited Majura Primary to continue our connection with them, looking forward to that and all things being even, I will be seeing you on Thursday.
 
Have a great week.
Warrick
