Thanks to Laura, Alisha, Reece, Brooke, Caroline and Elizabeth for helping out – I think everyone agreed it was a great day.

Dinner was fantastic, and gelati delicious. Oh, and the golf was good fun too! Congrats to the winners of each team, and the stand-out performances – Tiffany with two hole-in-ones; Alisha who was able to play and talk on the phone at the same time; Kylie who managed to lose a ball over the fence and out of the course – and congratulations to Laura and Reece’s teams who both completed the whole 18 holes!

Thanks to Caz for organising such a fun night – can’t wait for the next one in September.

This year’s dinner was held to help raise money for birthing kits for the women of Papua New Guinea to give birth in a more hygienic environment.

The dinner was held at COTAH in Southbank and attracted 50 guests who generously helped us raise just over $700!  With the average kit costing just under $1, this equals over 700 kits!

Our thanks go to the following guests who made our night extra special:

DGE Nick Curry and wife Jan, PDG Don Hay and wife Ailsa (who attended as the representative of the birthing kits project), Rotarians Joe Thompson, Glendon Young and David Gardner (our auctioneer for the night).

We would also like to thank the following people/companies who provided support/prizes on the night:

- Laura and the wait staff from COTAH in Southbank who did a wonderful job

- The Entertainment Book

- our President Elect Hayley Gardner (for the lovely decorations)

We had over 190 guests come along to our Valentine’s Day movie night (selling out the whole cinema!), who mixed and mingled and were treated to champagne and nibbles at our pre-movie function.   Guests were also given a chance to buy raffle tickets, of which the proceeds went directly to our Philippines Dental Mission.

Once inside the theatre, the raffle prizes were drawn, with some very happy winners and then the movie rolled on screen.

From all reports, guests had a fantastic time.  Thanks go to Emilie and Sharni for all their efforts on the night.  As a result, the club was able to raise over $2,000 for the Dental Mission in the Philippines.

Thanks to all those guests who came along and also to the following companies who provided support on the night in the way of raffle prize donations:
