Golf Day

Yes....I've done it again this year. For those of you unaware, I organise a charity golf day each year for a child with an illness or disability. Last year I said I wasn't going to do it again. It's such a huge effort, loads of stress and usually something I organise by myself - stupid? maybe! Although it is extremely rewarding (once it's over) knowing you have changed the life of a little person who needed assistance.

Anyway, I digress. I've done it again this year. The 2009 Inflight Logistic Services Charity Golf Day is being held at Nudgee Golf Club on Thursday 12th November 2009 with 96+ golfers and 120+ dinner guests for the presentation dinner and auction afterwards.

Although it has been a long time coming and a ridiculous amount of effort trying to track down an auctioneer, and then finding another one at short notice when the original cant make it etc, it has also crept up a little bit. The last few weeks have been spent thinking "I've still got a few weeks" and then walking into work this morning it dawned on me that I now only have a few days. Thankfully Hannah & Rachelle have been a big help getting all the donated stock etc organised and suggesting ideas when I've been ready to rip my hair out.

So.... bring on Thursday so it's all over with for another year. I can then finalise the accounts, arrange the independent audit, send the funds on to Variety for them to purchase all of Jaden's equipment he needs.

Then once this big project is over with and the added stress is gone I can focus on Christmas.... did I mention I'm not doing this again?
