Gifts that keep on giving – got to love them!

In our case one of these is certainly Leadership Victoria. I would struggle to even guess now how much value/benefit/$$ income has come our way since we became involved with LV in early 2012. The latest benefits have arisen from the recently held WCLP visit to Servants in late July (I Heartbeated at the time that this had been an extraordinary visit even by the high standards SCH/LV are used to operating within.) One of the chaps in the program that night is a Director of  charitable foundation – he asked what we needed for the houses – easy answer – freezers, always freezers. (Freezers are the closest thing we have to a license to print money – any guesses as to why this might be?!) He asked me to put in an application for some goods to the foundation. We put in for 6k worth of goods – adding a coupe of other items alongside the freezer. Last night he informed me that not only was the 6k approved – but the foundation had decided to give us 10k. Now, in my experience, this NEVER happens. Good news eh?! This foundation is keen to develop an ongoing relationship with Servants.

Other occurrences from the late July evening saw participants donate such large amounts of money to Romana resident Paul for his Team Servants fundraising campaign that he finished on top of our fundraising leaderboard; a Romana reso has been offered a scholarship place on an LV course being held in 2016 and I have commenced communication with a couple of other participants from that night who are keen to be involved with Servants having been well and truly ‘infected’ by what we are on about.

Hurrah!!
