""This was the first time I had been involved in organising a fundraising activity so the information and support provided by Amy and you was invaluable! When advertising the pies I often had comments that 12 pies are too many or why couldn’t they order a box of mixed flavours. It was helpful to suggest to people that getting together with another friend or family to purchase a box/boxes of pies gives flexibility around quantity and flavour options.""
