on a great production of More Than Tea and Scones, I was so pleased that I had supported you at the beginning and that you received further funds from Arts Queensland. You really delivered the message across what the QCWA does, besides tea and scones. It was topical and heartwarming and the actors did a great job, credit to them. Congratulations to you for bringing this play alive and your tenacity to tour it." Tim Fairfax
