VietHelp's
Inaugural Fund Raising Dinner on Saturday July 1st 2006, at Anabella Receptions,
Melbourne.
The VietHelp
Team would like to express its
sincere
thanks to all guests who particpated in and attended its 2006 Annual "Hearts of Gold" Charity Dinner
held on Saturday
01/07/2006 at Anabella Receptions, Melbourne, Australia.
The night was an
outstanding success with over 420 guests dressed in a gold item of
clothing attending to help raise funds for
VietHelp's many projects in
Vietnam.
All guests were treated
to an exquisite six-course
dinner wonderfully prepared by the Anabella Receptions team. As the
night progressed, overwhelming genoristy prevailed as guests "dug deep"
to purchase raffle and lucky draw tickets or to make much needed and
invaluable donations.
Towards the end of the
night, guests bid with great spirit, gusto and enthusiasm during the
much anticipated and exciting charity auction. As the wonderful pop and
more traditional folk Vietnamese music played throughout the
night,
the dance floor lit up as all guests, young and old, traded in their
dinner shoes
for dancing shoes!
The
dinner was an example of the change that is possible when people
come together and put their minds, and their efforts, towards a worthy
cause. All "Golden Hearts" guests on the night recognised the suffering
that exists for many third world children, by being proactive and
demonstrating that they were willing to be a part of the steps towards
creating a better future for many young lives.
Overall, it was a
wonderful night and VietHelp
hopes to improve on this success for next year's dinner! THANK YOU
