Quotes from the SAVI Volunteer Christmas Party - 2nd December 2009
"Just to say thanks for a very nice get together. As I have no grandchildren, I thought the school did a lovely thing to let them sing to us. I was amazed at how well they remembered the words.
By the way, I loved all the food I ate and the Christmas cake was excellent, you must thank all those people who did it all for us."
"Many thanks to you and all the SAVI Staff involved in the organising of the Volunteers’ Christmas Lunch. It was a most enjoyable occasion and it was lovely meeting up with lots of different people. The food itself was delicious and I very much enjoyed the school choir who sang to us – they sang with great enthusiasm!"
Quotes from the Volunteer's Summer Party at Tyrrell's Wood Golf Club - 4th June 2009
"Hi Dennis - I just wanted to say what a great success I thought today was. The venue fo course was a "coup" but your organisation and hard work were evident and it made for a really excellent event. Well done."
"Hello Dennis. The choice of venue was excellent - I wonder who managed that. The weather was at its best showing off the lovely views for those who had some sight. The food was great and the company perfect. I thoroughly enjoyed it and thanks for arranging this occasion."
"As a volunteer I would like to thank you SAVI for giving us volunteers a very special thank you party at the beautiful and unique Tyrrells Wood Golf Club, what a pleasure and privilege for us. It was a wonderful few hours spent in great company, super food and very professionally organised. Also enjoyed the speeches tremendously, you made us all feel very special people."
