This event is in its fourth year running and was initiated three years ago by two staff members, Trish Young and Tookie Capezio, as a way of broadening the experiences of Senior Hospitality students. It also gives the students with the opportunity of providing a service to those members in our community who need our help most. On behalf of all the Merici College community, we commend Trish, Tookie and the students on their wonderful endeavours, and congratulate them for the first-class, degustation menu that they prepared on Saturday night.
We would like to thank you to all our guests for attending the Karinya House Bridge Benefit Dinner and Silent Auction. The support received on the evening was overwhelming with over $5,000 raised for Karinya House! An amazing effort! The success of our auction could not have occurred without the many businesses in the A.C.T. who contributed gifts, vouchers and items. Your generosity and support is greatly appreciated by the Merici community and Karinya House.
We would also like to thank all our other staff involved in organising this evening:
- Olivia Straker, College Captain for being a wonderful MC and her continued support of Merici College and all we do.
- Sincere thanks and appreciation is extended to Christine Collins, Finance Manager for her invaluable contribution in purchasing and preparing items for hampers donated by Merici and all her finance work.
- Ros Parisi, Public Relations Officer for her all her administrative coordination and organisation.
Again, our sincere thanks for supporting this wonderful event.
