2008

We all had a great time at the CANZA annual Christmas Charity Ball on Saturday 6 December, 2008 at the InterContinental Hotel Prague. Entertainment included didgeridoo music from the Aldaman, a traditional performance by Australian Aboriginal artist Francis Firebrace, and brilliant Crowded House, Splt Enz and Hunters and Collectors live music from Crowded Out, flown in especially for a one night only premiere performance in Prague. Dancing went on well past 3am and some of us were out for even longer.

We managed to add almost 80,000kc to our tally of more than 1,000,000 crowns collected over the past four years to support local childrens' charities through the charity auction held to raise money for Chance 4 Children, a charity which focuses on helping children who are socially disadvantaged, institutionalized or terminally ill. Top selling items included a JVC LCD TV, a Fujitsu Siemens TV, a six months membership to Holmes Place Gym and a cap signed by the 2008 NRL premiership winning Manly Sea Eagles team.
