On Wednesday 4 November 2009, RSPCA NSW held a Bequest and Legacies High Tea at the breath-taking Normal Lindsay Gallery in Springwood, near the Blue Mountains, NSW.
Over 150 guests attended the high tea, exceeding our initial expectation of 60 guests! RSPCA NSW CEO Steve Coleman gave a presentation to guests on the upcoming RSPCA Care Centre facility at Rouse Hill, followed by a question and answer session. The RSPCA Care Centre concept was met with much approval from guests, all of whom indicated their support for RSPCA NSW's future direction for animal rehoming. High Tea guests and RSPCA staff were left in shock when one RSPCA supporter handed Steve Coleman a cheque donation for $25,000 as a special gift for the new RSPCA Care Centre.
Special guests from the RSPCA Blue Mountains shelter also attended the High Tea. RSPCA shelter staff and adoption dogs 'Bob' and 'Candy' met and mingled with guests outside the marquee in the gardens. Bob and Candy had a wonderful day meeting so many animal lovers and receiving lots of pats and tummy rubs.
Guests thoroughly enjoyed the fundraising raffle and lucky draw competition which raised over $500 for the RSPCA NSW. Many of the prizes were kindly donated by businesses and restaurants in the local area.
The Bequest team would like to thank all guests for making the High Tea such a wonderful event and for your continued, inspiring support of the RSPCA NSW.
