On behalf of the members of the Loxton-Berri Auxiliary of Novita Children's Services, I write to publicly acknowledge and thank the members of the Loxton and wider Riverland community for their recent generosity.
Our 'New Year’s Eve Party with a difference' proved to be most successful. The ‘difference’ being that there was no party and we were seeking donations for this worthy cause.

Thank you all most sincerely
