Adam’s gift a fine example

ADAM Rogers may not have been the most popular person at the annual GPS Wealth conference, but he is certainly popular with Sunshine Butterflies after donating $700 to the community organisation.
Acting as ‘fines master’ throughout the conference, Success Coach Adam collected fines ranging from $5 to $50 from anyone who was dobbed in by other conference attendees for a variety of fun misdemenours.
Over the two days, Adam and the conference attendees chipped in $700 for the charity that is working hard to raise $100,000 to buy a hobby farm to expand their therapy services.
Sunshine Butterflies founder Leanne Walsh said the race is on to raise the funds needed to buy the hobby farm when it goes up for auction on 6 September.
Local councillors Sandy Bolton and Joe Jurisevic have also lended their support to the not-for-profic organisation, donating to the charity and attending their Rock-Ability morning hosted by musician Carey Idle.
Leanne said the Sunshine Butterflies board of directors have been to inspect the hobby farm and are excited at the prospect of expanding the therapy options available to local people and their families.
