Raising funds for: Suzy and Norm - Sonny Ray Cafe Hawthorn
This is about two incredibly hard working people. A husband and wife team who own Sonny Ray cafe at 328 Auburn Road Hawthorn. They have worked tirelessly every day since the pandemic began, they have worked EVERY SINGLE DAY - 7 Days a week. I think they may have taken a “forced” afternoon off a few months ago as the water mains in Auburn Road burst! I wanted to help organise something special for them that they can look forward to when things return to some kind of normal, and they can eventually take a few days off together to chill out and unwind. With the support of the local community, regulars and loyal customers who Suzy and Norm greet by name every day and know their coffee order by heart! As I work for an online travel company I thought what a better gift than a weekend away at the very least for a 3 night stay at a brand new Melbourne 5 star hotel, a staycation. To relax, unwind, reset and refresh Here is my suggestion: Weekend away lots of inclusions at brand new Manhattan style 5 star ⭐️ Next Hotel Melbourne from their local community Club One-Bedroom Suite Package is $1349 for 3 nights including: Your handpicked inclusions: * Daily valet parking for one vehicle per stay * Enjoy VIP access to the Manhattan-inspired The Club, where you'll be treated to nightly drinks, canapés (6pm-8pm) and select, round-the-clock refreshments and snacks from the Club's chefs * Kick start city adventures with daily à la carte breakfast at La Madonna * Indulge at La Madonna and The Barrel Room with A$50 drink and dining credit per stay * Celebrate your escape with a welcome bottle of wine * Toast to new adventures with a signature barrel-aged cocktail per adult * Enjoy a complimentary glass of wine when you purchase a main meal at the stylish La Madonna restaurant * Sleep in until the last moment with guaranteed late 12pm checkout Please see link below: https://luxuryescapes.com/au/offer/next-hotel-melbourne-victoria/0062y000006QJvCAAW

Just purchased a $100 Nick & Nora’s voucher Nick & Nora’s is a cocktail and champagne bar that brings the golden era of glamourous and decadent post prohibition soirees to the modern day, in the heart of Melbourne. Inspired by fictional murder solving duo Nick and Nora Charles from novel The Thin Man, Nick and Nora’s Melbourne brings the couples legendary parties and love for all things cocktail and champagne to its exceptional inner city location. Step inside to experience the true Nick & Nora Charles hospitality and let our world class bartenders create the perfect libation. The magnificent food menu compliments the extensive range of champagne and cocktails perfectly, featuring oysters, caviar, local and imported cheese and cured meats as well as substantial canapés.

There are still people wanting to contribute to this for Suzy & Norm I am going to remove the funds to purchase the 3 night accommodation package and leave the page open for a couple more weeks. Any contributions remaining I will put towards the day spa package and if possible a dining voucher at a nearby restaurant for one of the three nights! I have a great card which I’ll add all your names I hope to give to them on Saturday this week in the morning if anyone’s around Ideally though, I’d like to have the additional vouchers together with the Next Hotel 3 night packages to present to them from all of you with the card

Hello again everyone It’s absolutely incredible in such a short time we have reached the target! I am organising the package in the next couple of days, if any more funds come through I will also look at a day spa voucher as mentioned to Miss Fox in Little Collins Street and perhaps a voucher at a lovely nearby restaurant too As soon as I organise the package with these incredibly generous contributions I will advise you on this platform and then organise a card from all of you and take it to the cafe I’d expect by this weekend Best Regards Jackie ?

Wow you are all truly amazing people! We are almost at our goal in only a few days!! If we go over the goal I will organise a spa treatment for both Suzy & Norm as mentioned at Miss Fox an award winning day spa close by the hotel. I will also plan a voucher for the sensational speakeasy Art Deco cocktail bar next door to the hotel called Nick and Nora And depending on the next few days if more is raised I’ll also organise a voucher of about $200 for Gimlet at Cavendish House one night for a special dinner for the two of them!

Just to let everyone know if we go over the target I will also organise a voucher at a nearby award winning day spa called https://www.missfox.com.au/ Very coincidentally named similar to Norm & Suzy’s last cafe Mr Foxx!!
