00:00 softball and the water surrounding it that was Manning Valley Landscapes on
00:04 the way to Wingham that donated all of that so that was really lovely of them
00:08 so we've got such a amazing generous community that is only too happy to
00:13 support us in anything that we do. One lot of people that you know for me I
00:18 would like to thank is my staff like every one of them gave up their own time
00:24 after working a full week gave up their own time to come in on a Saturday and
00:28 work Sundays to help Rotary like Rotary were the driving force but to help
00:33 Rotary come in and do the little bits and pieces of it. I also have to mention
00:37 Braden again who was the puzzle piece that you know we all look to for advice
00:43 and where things needed to go and my son Sean who was like the the diggy person
00:49 and got in got in underneath things and screwed things dug things and all of
00:55 that so I take my hat off to that kid he's a good kid because he's my boy but
01:00 yeah so we've all along the way we've each and every one of us that are here
01:04 have chipped in for some sort of support for to get this up and running so with
01:09 that I would like to say thank you very much. All the donators and everyone that helped along the way so we'll be displaying that so everyone can see for years to come.
01:18 All the hard work and the amazing community that we have that donated towards this.
01:23 Thank you. Hi I'm Gina and we're from Sisters on Steel women against domestic
01:30 violence. Each chapter around Australia raises money for a shelter or a refuge
01:36 and today we have something to show for it. Deb. All this started with our
01:43 Discovery Parks Foster doing an upgrade and I asked them what were they doing
01:48 for the playground in the future and they said they were going to either give
01:53 it to a school or just tip it and I said well could we have it for the women's
01:58 refuge and they didn't hesitate they said it was a fantastic idea and and this
02:02 is going to make children and mothers happy for years to come and yeah so we
02:08 end up with the playground got it all sorted out for them took a while year
02:11 and a half but it's all completed now with the help of a fantastic community.
02:16 Very very excited that Rotary were able to come and help. It was lovely that David
02:22 Denning was able to come and help put all the pieces together. It's been a very
02:28 long and hard road trying to get everything to match but we've finally
02:34 done it and I think the big thanks is to all the Rotary members that worked
02:39 tirelessly to get this big structure without an actual map which was so
02:45 wonderful to think that we could actually get all the little pieces the
02:50 footings poured everything else had to fall into place before we could actually
02:54 get the actual playground equipment to where it is today. So without the Rotary
02:59 members and being here every week trying to get it all done and Samaritans and
03:05 everybody else along the way that's helped. A big thank you to everybody.
03:10 So thank you everyone.
03:13 you
