Our Friends of Churchill Island Society (FOCIS) General Meeting last Saturday finished on a high with a certificate of appreciation being given to our amazing treasurer of almost 10 years, Tom O'Dea.

Tom and Ruth have been frequent participants in FOCIS working bees, paying their own overnight accommodation to do so - and even provided home-made chocolates for one morning tea!
