Men In The Kitchen - Channel Ten
A successful fundraising jazz concert for SolarisCare occurred on Sunday, 28 March at the Navy Club in Fremantle. SolarisCare volunteer Di Watts organised this special event and more than $1700 was raised. A magnificent effort. The line up for this concert included Lions South Perth Big Band (directed by Phil Hatton), a special appearance by June and Lew Smith, and famous WA jazz singer Libby Hammer. SolarisCare staff David Edwards, Wendy Mathews and Nicolette Madry attended this event, and David had the opportunity of informing all the patrons about the great work that SolarisCare is achieving as well as pulling out the lucky raffle tickets. Thanks again to Di for organising this event and all the wonderful prizes, and also thanks to her two helpers Jan Petterino and Marie Judges for overseeing the sale of the raffle tickets.
