Cornwall Stodart Annual Dinner helps Bush Fire Appeal

Last night, more than 200 key clients and stakeholders joined Cornwall Stodart partners and staff for our Annual Dinner. The night was a great success. We raised more than $30,000 on behalf of Good Shepherd Youth and Family Services. Michael Yore of Good Shepherd, however, redirected the funds to The Red Cross for the Black Saturday Bushfire Appeal.

Now in its sixth year, our Annual Dinner (previously known as our Key Client Dinner) aims to recognise and thank clients and stakeholders for their ongoing support, as well as providing networking opportunities for attendees.

This year's event was held at the Docklands. Guests enjoyed a three course meal and drinks, as well as entertainment and a charity auction and raffle. Well known radio commentator Ian Cover was Master of Ceremonies and Brad Sewell spoke after dinner, with the assistance of Bruce Growcott (and ultimately the Hawthorn Football Club). Phil de Fegely was auctioneer and there is no doubt his expertise lifted the amount of money raised.

Darren Trott (Zurich) provided a first hand account of the destruction caused by the recent bushfires, having undertaken an assessment visit to Kinglake that day. We thank Michael Yore for his generosity in directing the funds raised to the Black Saturday Bushfire Appeal.

Feedback from attendees confirms the night was again a great success, and indicates our Annual Dinner gets better every year.
