Danced our socks off for Kaspar’s Fundraiser

It felt like Midwinter in Melbourne but that made it even more of an adventure
for those who braved the night and ventured on Nov 22. They were lured by the
warm glow of the Northcote Hall, filled with people, candles, artwork and
amazing musicians for a Whimsical Musical Night Picnic. We were also drawn
together to have to celebrate and raise funds to help support Kaspar, the
beautiful boy of Kerri and Matt’s.

It really was a fabulous evening, if you only get out one night a year make it
Kaspar’s fundraiser. The atmosphere was intimate, luscious and joyous. Everyone
was enchanted with the music, which was like a four course feast. First
Persephone tantalised us with divine vocal delicacies, then Kelly Auty gave us a
large personal serving of goddess like gorgeousness. The Out East Jazz Combo
soothed us soulfully like an after dinner drink. To top it all off Lil’Fi ladled
out a huge sweet desert, abundant and fruity and fun. Nobody could keep off the
dance floor! A fabulous evening for all. Thanks to Kaspar for the opportunity to
dance our socks off!

Thanks to all those who came, supported or made a donation to help Kasper’s
family meet his basic needs. There is still along way to go to reach these
goals, so lets keep going. All proceeds raised will help provide essential
transport, mobility and bath room facilities for Kaspar.

After all it takes a whole village to raise a child!
