Just a quick update:
Looks like the cost for Trivia night will be somewhere between $20-$30 dollars. Hiring a hall will cost around $200 and we also have to allow for some snacks. We are hoping to have some good prizes donated as well as one or two cash prizes.
My cousin Adrian is yet again helping our fundraising efforts, thanks to his high school friend Jack. Jack is a magician and we (Adrian, Jack and myself) are currently putting our heads together in how we can put together a magic show fundraiser. As I know more I will let you all know. For those of you in Sydney, Jack has a website www.magictobelieve.com.au
On a different note, we were shopping today and we were in the parents room, making a stop so that our toilet training Aaliyah could use the bathroom. On our way out, another little family walked in. Similar to our family they had what appeared to be a 2 year old as well as a baby in the pram. Difference was the 2 year old little girl had very little hair, most likely the result of Chemo, meaning that this poor little lady is facing one mighty big battle. Seeing that put a lot of things in perpective for me. Yes, it is frustrating that Aaliyah has to deal with a complicated, harder to fix hearing loss. Yes, its going to cost ALOT of money to fix it. But at the end of the day, it is not life threatening, it is not going to cost her her life. Yes it affects her quality of life to a small extent, but nothing like if she was to be battling the poison that is cancer. That little girl has stayed on my mind all afternoon. She has served as a timely reminder that no matter how hard things may get, someone is always doing it harder. Please remember this little girl in your prayers. She weighs heavy on my heart and mind.

have you looked into RSL clubs or similar clubs to see if any would be prepared to offer use of any of their facilities for cheaper?
