And on the subject of supportinggreat causes, RACV Royal Pines fielded a teamof 90 in this year’s Mother’s Day Classic walkand run and we were able to raise over $2,000for breast cancer research. The ‘Royal Pines’team included our residents, many families,children and resort staff and for the secondyear running, the team received the prize forthe largest participating corporate group. A bigthank you to everyone who participated.
