Louisa Dyce writes: “We had a great night at our Dinner/Fundraiser on October 18 at The Settlement. I want to thank Michele and the wonderful staff at The Settlement and all of our guests who attended for making it such a great evening. Dr Anthony Harris was engaging and gave us much to reflect on. Laura Buzo was a skillful compere. Sandra Beeston and Jemima Hall covered things for the paper (see story on page 6). I’d also like to thank those people who worked diligently behind the scenes to make the evening run so smoothly. Heather Robinson was a consummate maître d’. Ross Smith did the set up and pull down along with Geoff Turnbull who also brought matches to light the table candles! Thanks to Lyn Turnbull for the booking of The Settlement and preparation for the evening plus set up and pull down. Thanks to Andrew Collis for all of his work in preparation of the evening, set up and pull down. Thanks also to Curtis Penning and Jemima Hall for providing our beautiful chocolates for the end of the evening. Dorothy McRae McMahon was our collective voice for the evening and thanked our talent for the evening’s entertainment – Salta and I Cantarini were brilliant.”
