I wanted to share the success we had at our first Ball for FARA, here in
South Australia.
It was an smallish affair, but BOY did we make up for it with laughter
and frivolity.
The evening started with the MC, demanding a $10 donation everytime
someones mobile phone rang, and continued in this VERY merry way to
people throwing in $50 notes for a raffle for their table centre ( vase
of flowers).
The Silent Auction saw bidding wars, which almost lead to " marker pens
at 10 paces", and the Band, encouraged two men from the audience to come
up and be the " boys from ABBA"... need I say more?
At midnight the band finnished up, much to the dismay of the guests, and
the party moved into the neighbouring Bar for the next few hours.
Big Thankyou to A/Prof. Martin Delatycki for attending and speaking.....
He opened alot of peoples eyes, who then opened their wallets.
The best thing, is that everyone wants a repeat next year.
Cheers everyone
Laurel
