Treat time for star mums

FOR 25 words or less, loving, dedicated and hard working mums could finally get the appreciation they deserve this Mother’s Day – Sunday 10 May.
Readers could celebrate their mums by submitting a creative entry to Pakenham News and Pakenham-Berwick Gazette stating why their mum was a ‘star’.
Based on the originality and sincerity of the entry, three ‘star’ mums will receive special ‘star’ treatment.
The first prize winner will be able to relax at Novotel Glen Waverley. They will receive one night accommodation for two, a buffet breakfast, and have use of hotel pool sauna and gym. The special mum who wins second prize, will receive a Pharmore Pamper Hamper valued at $270.
The third prize mum will treat her taste buds with a chocolate indulgence hamper from the Chocolate Shop, valued at $130.
For your chance to win your mum a special gift, make sure you get your entry in by 4 May. For competition details, look for the advertisement on page 14.
