10. Janine from Linden Cycles for the helmets, water bottles, bike lights and bicycle which Joshua (aged 3) bought on auction. Thank you Linden Cycles for always supporting us.

Connor Ross Raffle: Paula Brown

Count the Coins: Annette Dye – who is a bean counter – these people should probably be excluded from these types of games as they have an unfair advantage

AHODF Raffle:

First Prize: Helen Michael

Second Prize: Thomas Sonnichson from The Dive Shop, Clearwater Mall which is so cool because the Dive Shop does a lot for charity.

Thank you all!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I sincerely hope I have not left anyone out
