Dear Peter,
On behalf of the team at Cancer Council NSW I would like to extend a heartfelt thanks for being part of Australia's Biggest Morning Tea and raising $1,852.69. Without people like you Cancer Council NSW would be unable to deliver the research funding, support services and prevention programs that will one day eliminate the devastation that a cancer diagnosis can bring.
Each year, Cancer Council NSW provides close to $15 million to support research across Australia. Thanks to research into cancer prevention, treatment and management, more than 61,000 cancer deaths were averted between 1987 and 2007; this simply could not happen without your support. For more information on how we're helping your community please visit our website www.cancercouncil.com.au or call us on 13 11 20.
Bringing people together for a good cause is an inspiring thing to do and your efforts in hosting an Australia?s Biggest Morning Tea will no doubt motivate others to take part in the future ? every cup really does count in the fight against cancer. We look forward to you joining us for Australia?s Biggest Morning Tea next year!
Yours sincerely,
Vibeke Burke

On Friday, 5 students from years 9 & 10 kicked off Book Week early by attending the Children's Book Council of Australia's Book of the Year Awards at the State Library! These students have been participating in the CBCA's Shadow Judging program, where they read and critique the 6 shortlisted books in the same way the adult judges select the official winner. Around 400 groups of students across Australia participated this year, and our students voted in the older ready category. Their choice was I'm Not Really Here by Gary Lonseborough, closely followed by Birdy by Sharon Kernot. All shortlisted books are on display in our library, and ready to borrow. Asides from attending the ceremony, students also had an opportunity to visit the library's Shakespeare Room, the famous Mitchell Reading Room, and take a wander through one of the library's exhibitions
