Also, congratulations to Bianca Bircham who won a bottle of wine for selling a book of raffle tickets… thanks everyone for buying a ticket.. and hey, remember, it’s for charity!  

I’m writing this post with a massive smile on my face, I had a brilliant night last night at The Lion and I hope everyone who came along did too. I couldn’t have asked for a better final event as a fundraiser – an event where I didn’t actually have to do anything other than enjoy myself and drink certain beverages.

The Lion has teamed up with Heartland Wines & Coopers to provide drink specials, 25% of every one of their drinks sold being donated straight to The Royal Society for the Blind. Huge thanks to Karen, marketing manager of The Lion for organising everything, including an assortment of gorgeous food which we all enjoyed! (The mini burgers were delicious, my favourite had to be the parmesan risotto balls though)

It was so good to catch up with the people who have supported me through the YBL journey, including my mentor, my buddy, family, friends & colleagues. You guys are the reason it’s all come together and worked and it meant the world to me that you could come along.

Hope you enjoy looking through some of these happy snaps, and thanks again from me.

As you may know..  it’s only weeks until the windup of the Young Business Leader program that I’ve been involved with through the Royal Society for the Blind. It’s been a big 10 months!

To celebrate this fact I’ve organised a special drinks night at The Lion hotel and would love you all to come along.

When? Friday 1st May from 5.00pm

Where? The Lion, Melbourne St, North Adelaide

What? Drink specials and nibbles provided for everyone, fun & frivolity guaranteed

Why? To celebrate, because we deserve it, to meet new people and while all that’s happening, to raise much needed funds for this great charity

Who? This invitation is open to everyone you know.. please send this link on.. the more the merrier!

Once again, thanks for your support and I hope to catch up with you on Friday the 1st.

On Tuesday 7th April I was feeling very proud to stand alongside lots of other RSB supporters and volunteers in Rundle Mall as part of the 125th birthday celebrations.

Amongst a sea of purple shirts, balloons, merchandise, cupcakes & puppies Premier Mike Rann MP spoke about the history of The Royal Society for the Blind and the brilliant work they do across the state for nearly 11,000 blind or vision impaired people.

It was really special as members of the public came up to us and thanked us for the work we did..   many giving generously to the RSB. I had a great couple of hours and loved being a part of something that felt really good. Well done to the event organisers and thanks to all for helping out or just stopping by and sampling a cupcake!
