POWH Foundation Volunteer Information Evening

On April 3 The Prince of Wales Foundation held a Call for Volunteers evening in the EBB Functions Room, POWH.

The evening was organised to encourage local business, residents and corporations to become involved in the POWH Foundation to assist us with our fundraising efforts.

Leanne Zalapa, CEO, made a colourful presentation to our potential volunteers. We had a wonderful turn out, signing up 35 new volunteers who want to become involved in our fantastic calendar of events for 2007-08 including Hollywood Nights, Take Two, the 4th annual Ride For Life Charity Cycling Event, our annual Art & Jewellery Shows, International Nurses Day and more.

Don't worry if you couldn't make it on the night it's not too late to volunteer..call us on 9382 4263 and find out how you can be a part of the POWH Foundation.

Patrick Day Ball

This was a fantastic night held at the Four Seasons Hotel on Saturday March 17 - nearly $10,000 was raised for the POWH Foundation.

Guests were wowed by a very special performance by 2006 Australia Idol winner Damien Leith. Guests were also treated to some amazing Irish Dancing thanks to JanU Curry's School of Irish Dancing and some wonderful Irish bagpipes all while enjoying a delicious Irish feast of Guinness Pie, Guinness Beer, Green Champagne and Irish Coffee.

Thank you to the Australia Irish Society and in particular Patsy Dagget who put this wonderful night together. THANK YOU!
