We were eating strawberries and ice-cream for a good cause. The Strawberry Festival was organized by Property Brokers Levin to raise funds for Arohanui Hospice which provides specialist end-of-life care to patients in our area. The hospice service is free and two thirds of the patients are cared for in their own homes. Support for their families is also provided.
People were queuing up for their sweet treat, and Property Brokers staff were doing a great job. Selling tickets, putting scoops of ice-cream into containers, adding strawberries, fruit sauce, and topping it all off with a shake or two of icing sugar. It was a real team effort.
As we stopped to enjoy our strawberries, we listened to local singer Geoff who provided the entertainment. At $5 per serving, it was money well spent, and all going to a wonderful cause. Mind you, I did hear one man ask if he could have it for free, that was a bit cheeky, I thought. Just as well he was refused.
