I just saw this newsletter advertised by my daughter’s school, of a family carnival fun-day, which takes place this Sunday at the beautiful Nitida Wine farm, in support of this charity for special needs children. It really sounds like a great fun day out for the whole Family this weekend, so I’m hoping to help spread the word. This is their newsletter on the event. Have a look…
