The aim of these functions is to:
- Bring current and new supporters together in a friendly atmosphere.
- Educate people who have never heard of this school, by showing a short visual presentation. Gemma will also be giving updates and information about future projects for both old and prospective supporters.
- Launch the book St Jude's and sell copies. Sales of the book at these events will benefit the school directly. People who buy a book during the function will also receive a free DVD about the school.
Full details of the book launch events around Australia are on the School website. The cost seems to range from $10-$50 depending on the refreshments (tea, breakfast, dinner, whatever) and you will need to book a place if you want to go.

Hi Gillian
I am now calling for submissions to the inaugral Carnival of Australia on April 25 (ANZAC Day). It may be beneficial to submit this one about Gemma's tour so that as many Aussie Bloggers as possible have knowledge of what Gemma is doing at St Judes.
