Fundraiser by Katherine Fox - Losing our locks for children with medically associated hair loss...
From Alumni member Katherine Fox:
I've decided to lose my locks and donate my hair to Variety charity that provides wigs for children with medical related hair loss. 11yr old Amity from Longreach has joined me and we’ll both be losing our locks before Christmas – just a bit of cross-State scheduling to be undertaken.We are grateful for any donations toward this worthy cause - all funds will go toward making a wig from the [just shy of] 1.5m of hair we donate between the two of us. Please go to the link above and select the ‘give now’ button to make a donation. If for some reason it does not go straight to our donations page, use the search function (top right) to search for ‘losing our locks’.Thank you for considering.Katherine and AmityPS: or visit our FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/LosingOurLocks/?ref=hl where we’ll eventually have some ‘after’ pics!

Member Activities
Fellow Alumni Members
It seems a long time since our successful Alumni function in
November last year. What an enjoyable
evening it was! At that event and at
previous Board meetings we discussed organising some activities to bring past
and present colleagues together more often.
To kick this off we are arranging a couple of visits to the
Museum of Australian Democracy at Old Parliament House.
New Exhibitions and
lunch
There are a number of current exhibitions including:
·
Behind the Lines – The year’s best political
cartoons from 2014
·
Menzies – by John Howard.
The Museum also offers a 45 minute tour of the
Building. Some of you could run this
tour! Full details are available on the
website www.maodoph.gov.au.
We would follow this with lunch either at the OPH Café or
other local café.
Date: Saturday 30 May
Time: 10 am
RSVP: by 16 May
