Vix Technology Xmas function

Ruanna Belinda and Friend

Love corporate events! Often I feel like Im the lucky one that gets to experience all the work mates celebrating another year of working together. You get to hear all the funny stories and share with them.

Here we are in Melbourne, in the lovely Alexander Gardens, near the boat sheds, having a feast! There were jugglers, magician with rabbits, carichature artist and myself the Tarot Reader!!

Santa even showed up to hand out the raffled presents and Max Walker cam along to share some of his stories as well.

In this photo, we have Belinda choosing the same card being 9 Pentacles hours apart. The team did a wonderful job of orchestrating this huge event, maybe the Tarot card was saying she wears many hats and to acknowledge all her many skills!

Thank you for having me, trust all the proceedings went well and everyone enjoyed the day and the Tarot card readings too.

LunaBears Picnic

LunaBears 2011

This is our 4th year running! We meet once a year in October to raise funds for Free the Bears Foundation.

There are still over 10,000 bears that need to be cared for. These Moon Bears, Sun Bears and Asiactic Bears are farmed for their bile, kept in restrictive cages, some dont ever get to see the Sun light.

At this stage there are 35 of us in the LunaBears club in Victoria alone. We raised $1,000 this year, not bad for a humble group of people committed to making a difference!

Together we support a Bear Sancutary in Laos and currently sponsoring 3 Bears. Lom and Fa are male Moon Bears and Dinh is a female Moon Bear. The names mean Earth, Sky and Sea. They were all rescued together and brought to the Laos Sancutary four years ago around the time we started the LunBears club.

Monthly Healers Market

All the stall holders standing with Shelley Calopa.

Every month for the past three years I have been holding a stall at the Moonee Ponds Healers Market. Its held on the first Sunday of the Month and the venue is the local Community Hall in Moonee Ponds.

In the first two years we raised over $3,000 and we presented this money to the Olivia Newton John Foundation.

This year we raised over $3,000 again, but this year we decided to donate the money to the Ian Gawler Foundation. They have been around for 28 years already and they do not get any government support, so it was really special that our little group was able to support them in our little big way!

I have made many new friends from our little community and together we are making a huge difference! Thank you Louise and team for their fabulous commitment. Please come on down and support us keep making that difference!
