 The PGM said:

We are keen to support this wonderful organisation - LifeLites - that does so much for children in difficult circumstances.  Lodges and individuals in the Province have contributed and we know the money will be put to very good use.

Simone Enefer-Doy gave a notice of thanks to the PGM saying:

We are most grateful for your continued support which does make the lives of these children so much more fulfilling. We know that you are going into Festival next year but thank you for the wonderful you have given us so far.
