The St John of God Berwick Hospital Auxiliary celebrated Christmas early, as part of their annual luncheon.

The Beaconsfield Club was transformed into a Christmas wonderland, complete with a visit from Santa Claus, on Wednesday 24 July.

Auxiliary president Sally Wright thanked attendees and local businesses which had donated prizes and gifts for the raffle.

St John of God Berwick mission integration director Rhonda O’Connor provided a report on the ongoing needs of the hospital and thanked Langmore House and the auxiliary for their support.

Auxiliary treasurer Margaret Tinshert wound up the day telling guests that the day had raised $4000.
