When you meet wonderful people, wonderful things happen! Last February, we met some amazing friends from the USA on a ski weekend here. But special heartfelt thanks to the special ladies of "Carved Out Divas, especially Denise & April, for their kindness and generosity from a fundraiser event held in Tampa, Florida. Hope you will come back to Sheffield Park (in warmer weather) so we can thank you in person. Big hugs to all you wonderful divas!!!
