Katie Rose Cottage Hospice was the recipient of thousands of dollars raised by the efforts of fund-raising events held by Noosa Domain and AVEO of Peregian Springs.
The residents of Noosa Domain Village opened their hearts and their Community Centre and welcomed more than 160 ladies to a fashion parade last week in support of Katie Rose Cottage Hospice.
Co-ordinators and Noosa Domain residents Carmel Porter and Maidie Low said by planning for months, absolutely everything on the day was generously donated to optimise the financial results for this well-loved charity.
“The beautiful door prizes were astonishing, and included baskets of body products, hair products and wine and chocolates, vouchers for cafes, Noosa Arts and handmade jewellery, accommodation in Hastings Street, day spa voucher and a pearl and crystal,” Carmel said.
“Deborah Judd from Katie Rose Cottage conducted a hilarious commentary on the fashions of the day, all modelled by the gorgeous residents of the Domain and the kitchen fairly groaned under 1200 pieces for morning tea.”
Guests included Katie Rose Cottage Hospice directors Carol Raye, Sue Storey and Clytie Glass as well as Noosa Domain directors Stewart Gull and Paul Burke who flew in from Ballarat.
“Carol Raye gave an emotional update on the opening of the palliative care facility,” Carmel said.
“Can you believe this woman has only been in Noosa for four years, but what a difference she’s made to the community through her passion and leadership of this voluntary organisation.
“We’re absolutely delighted to announce $7200 was the result of the event.”
Jackie Stewart of AVEO said 114 gathered for a two-course dinner at their centre with music supplied by melody man Daz Innis.
Daz also conducted the auction of amazing items an upmarket coffee machine and beautiful lamp which the buyers donated to the hospice. “That just shows great generosity,” Jackie said.
