our profile speaking on several local

High Tea
Sunday 24th February saw 102 lovely
ladies enjoy a High Tea at the Swissotel
Sydney. On arrival our guests were
entertained by Glenn Whitehall,

enjoyed a beautiful buffet High Tea.
There was a silent auction, raffle and
lucky door prizes with some beautiful
jewellery, chocolate hampers and
handbags available, along with a goody
bag packed with lots of surprises. We
raised $4700 from the afternoon.
