Burrawang Ball 2013

On Saturday the 8th June guests at the annual Burrawang Ball were treated to the first warm ball we can remember in quite some time! With the central heating in the main hall warming us all and the hall decorated in a unassuming, elegant manner, the atmosphere was set for a fabulous evening of dining, wining, dancing and of course fund raising for the School of Arts.

Ella's Holiday, a local Southern Highlands band, provided a fabulous soundtrack to the evening starting with jazz and ending the evening with plenty of music to dance to. The food, delicious as ever, provided by John & Vicki Maugher and lots of fabulous auction prizes on offer kindly donated by local businesses.









A very generous of $1000 was offered for Skye Leckie to get up and sing, and then a further $500 donated to make her stop(!) saw the fundraising efforts off to a great start.



All of the silent auction items went for great prices, and whole ticket books were sold for a hamper. A special thank you to the following businesses/people that donated goods for auction:
