A few days before the 10th May I mentioned the NDOT to my mother in law, who was going off to Koorong for a bit of a look see. When I got back I found she had left 2 packs of Thanksgiving Cards.

As the Co-ordinator for NDOT within our Church Fellowship I created A4 Certificates of Thanks for 27 Schools, Pre-schools, Day Care Centres within the Great Lakes Area and 1 Certificate to our local Police Command - to indicate our appreciation for all that they do in teaching, mentoring, guiding and encouraging our young people.
