Christmas Dinner – THANK YOU!

A big THANK YOU to all involved in our Christmas Dinner held on Saturday, 18 December 2022, an annual event, interrupted temporarily by COVID-19.

Thank you, the organizers – for your hard work to make this event possible; the cooks, Noah and Izabelle, and the kitchen crew – for the wonderful meal; and thank you, the Awakeneers – for your festive and surprise entertainment.

And, of course, THANK YOU to all who attended this event!
