Who would have thought that Greg Smith our maintenance/roofing contractor also had the ability to successfully produce a charity event that has raised over $130,000 for leukaemia research and cancer patient resources. Now in its fourth year, Light the Night has quickly become one of Australia’s most successful fundraising concerts. In August 2004, a dear friend of Greg’s, Matthew Rennie was diagnosed with leukaemia and spent the next three and a half years fighting this disease with every ounce of his being. Through the frustration of not being able to help Matt and through the inspiration of Matt’s strength and determination not to give up, Greg and a team of 3 others decided to produce the first Light the Night in 2005. Sadly, Matthew passed away on the 27th of October 2007. He was 24 years old. Light the Night continues to shine as Matthew’s Legacy. Performances over the years have included names such as - Katie Noonan, Barry Crocker, Don Lane, Paulini, Human Nature, Lucy Durack, David Campbell,

Cameron and Michele wanted to thank Kennards for the baby bonus they received following the birth of their first child. Cameron commenced working with Kennards in February 08 and has been impressed with the organisations commitment to its team members. They say the baby bonus will help with costs associated with Amelie, and is greatly appreciated.
