Magic!


 How else could one possibly describe the magical evening 40 people recently spent on the island of St John? Cristina & Joe Kessler joined forces with Susan & Miles Stair coupled with world class magicians Johnny Fox & Lisa Menna resulting in an over-the-top evening of delicious food, great fun, top quality entertainment and support for the Vhutshilo Mountain School children in South Africa. HFL is overjoyed at the friendship bond that has formed with this generous, public-spirited group of people. If delicious food and service provided by Laura and Passion Fruit Chefs, drinks courtesy of Chirag and Kevin from The Tap Room, card tricks performed by Lisa Menna of Cause to Wonder fame, photography by professional children’s comedian ‘Silly Billy’ (Silly Billy Magic) and main performance by comedian, magician and sword swallower extraordinaire, Johnny Fox, was not enough, then perhaps the $12,700 they raised to sponsor 7 HIV/AIDS school children and an additional contribution to the school building fund will do the trick. A HUGE “thank you” to Whitney Falk who made a personal contribution that blew us away. More on that amazing young lady soon….she deserves her own blog mention!
