The Inaugural Shoalhaven Empowered Women's Charity Lunch was held at the beautiful Butterfactory Restaurant on Wednesday 19th October.
The day began at 11.30am with the opportunity to network over a glass of wine. Guests were then seated to enjoy a delicious entree, followed by a main course, expertly cooked by Andrew and his Butterfactory team - Yum.
Guests were invited to purchase a raffle ticket, with various items available for sale and silent auction. We had lots of generous people who donated a wide range of items, from wine to candles to lunch at the Butterfactory.
Thank-you so sincerely to all those people who provided an item for our day - Bev, Judy S, the Butterfactory, Gaynor, Amie and PartyLite Candles.
Thanks to you and our generous ladies we raised a whopping $706.53 !!
The money will be donated to the Shoalhaven Cancer Care Centre.
After lunch we enjoyed listening to a very empowered, inspiring lady Fay Lamont, who spoke about being a women in a very male dominated world - thank-you Fay - a true Entrepreneur.
Fay also kindly offered to speak after the last minute loss of our advertised speaker Helen Breen. due to poor health.
The lunch concluded around 2.30pm, then we took off to the Shoalhaven Homeless Hub to deliver an assortment of food and toiletries. Kerry and her devoted crew of workers were very appreciative of our/your kind donations.
