The 500 Supporters’ Group AFL Luncheon
Congratulations to Patrick O’Brien (Chair, The 500 Supporters’ Group), members of the 500 Supporters’ Group committee and to the Group’s many friends and supporters on a most successful AFL Lunch on Tuesday, 7 May in the Olympic Room at the Melbourne Cricket Ground. A record attendance of 480 contributed to a very successful function in support of the Ruben Centre, which provides health, education and development projects for the people of the Mukuru slum in Nairobi, Kenya.
The Foundation is indebted to Master of Ceremonies, Leon Weigard OAM, who has generously hosted these functions for many years. The Foundation is grateful to Guest of Honour, Br Frank O’Shea, Director, Ruben Centre and Special Guest, The Honourable Jeffrey Kennett AC, former Premier of the State of Victoria and immediate Past President of the Hawthorn Football Club. The Foundation is also grateful for the presence and support of Nick Maxwell and Luke Ball from the Collingwood Football Club and to comedian, writer and producer Mick Molly for his assistance with the auction.
We look forward to the 500 Supporters’ Group pre Melbourne Cup Luncheon on October 29.
