The very first Black and Gold Gala Ball was a huge success, with 150 Tablelands health workers and their guests gathering at the Big Pub Malanda for a good cause.
The event was held as a “thank you” to local health workers and was also a fundraiser for the Atherton Friends of the Hospital Foundation.
Event organisers said the ball was a “glittering spectacular” and guests danced the night away to the sounds of the A Street Band. They also shared in over $3,000 worth of prizes generously donated by community sponsors.
Member for Hill Shane Knuth was also in attendance as a special guest speaker and shared a heartfelt message of support and gratitude for every person in the room.
The event’s MC, John Kemp, was styled for the occasion.
Jan Drew-Maskel (left) and event coordinator Andrea Lucius loved the black and gold theme.
