Without these people our Little Poss Appeal 2009 would not have been such an outstanding success!

Berneice, Kelvin, Sue and Rodney are just four of the wonderful collectors we treated to a thank you luncheon this week.

A huge thank you also to: David, Richard, Bernie, Michelle, Sue, Bernadette, Sam, Stephen and Audrey. This is the team from Fundraising Services led by Karen and Marion. If you see them out and about in Brisbane - in the cold, rain, wind and sun - say hello!

Thank you also to these participating retailers and individuals who supported the 2009 Little Poss Appeal.

During the Appeal, staff of Epilepsy Queensland, Amanda (left) and Jo were joined by volunteer Stewart Shannon at Central Station. Yes, it was as cold as they look! Brisbane commuters were generous with their donations and also very interested in finding out more about epilepsy and what Epilepsy Queensland does to help.

Thank you to all our merchandise sellers and donation collectors!
