COMMUNITY
FROM THE DEVELOPMENT OFFICE Over 330 guests enjoyed a wonderful afternoon at the second KRB Rugby Lunch on Friday 2 August at the Hilton Sydney. Andrew O’Keefe was an outstanding MC and provided much entertainment as did our guest speakers, alumna Jessica Crisp, Eric Rush, Bryan Fletcher and Michael O’Loughlin. Our guests really entered into the spirit of the event, buying numerous raffle tickets, participating in “Hand in The Ruck” and Heads and Tails and bidding for items in the Silent and Live Auction. A highlight of the Live Auction was the competitive bidding by those loyal to both Joeys and Riverview for the “Cerise and Blue” and “Blue and White” lambs donated by Malcolm and Jenny Smith from Nevertire. Other Live Auction prizes, including the beautiful home at Byron Bay owned by Andrew and Michelle Penfold, as well as the boat “Short Roped” owned by Morgan and Bree Parker, attracted much interest. Details of funds raised will be available soon and all funds raised will be directed to the KRB Bursary Fund, set up to assist families who are in financial need.
