~ A simple post about something I've not shared before.
Recently, I received the below Certificate of Appreciation in my inbox. The reason I am sharing is because this is the very first certificate I've received, not the first time I've donated or sponsored. Let's not confuse the two.
I was born in Springsure, but I've also spent plenty of time abroad. My husband and I actively chose to raise our family here even though life offered plenty of other opportunities.
This little town & it's community mean alot to us, so giving back has always been a priority, even when it hasn't felt affordable.
Often, our donations seem impossibly small, almost unworthy at times but to us, they're important.
The money, prizes and donations of my skill have far exceeded the income earned from photography, in Springsure this year alone.
Understandably, that's not great business but it certainly makes you appreciate when your contributions are formly recognised.
Nobody who donates expects a Thank You, but they certainly appreciate support so please, If you've ever asked a small business for a contribution, please consider supporting them before looking elsewhere for the same service.
Thank you to the Springsure Show Society for this incredibly special Certificate.
As always,
thanks for being here.
