GALA DINNER
Wednesday, 2nd December, 2009 at 7.00pm
Dockside, The Balcony Level, Cockle Bay Wharf, Darling Harbour, Sydney

Enjoy a wonderful evening of fun and networking with conference delegates at the Gala Dinner. Affording panoramic views of Cockle Bay Wharf and Darling Harbour, Dockside boasts one of Sydney's most dazzling locations. The evening will include a delicious three-course meal, music and dancing and inspirational dinner speaker Professor Michael Boyer, Director, Lifehouse
 
Entertainment will be provided by one of Australia's most talented sopranos, Tania de
Jong,
and exciting acoustic covers band Addicted To Twisties.

Sadly, Chris O’Brien passed away in June this year, following a three-year battle with an aggressive brain tumour. All proceeds from the dinner will go to Lifehouse at RPA, The Chris O'Brien Cancer Centre, supporting Chris’ vision for an integrated cancer treatment centre so that patients will no longer have to navigate their way through all the different elements of dealing with their illness alone.

Last year’s Gala Dinner sold out quickly - so
book now to avoid disappointment. Friends and
partners are welcome.
