On behalf of the staff of Cystic Fibrosis Victoria and the guests at our Dinner Dance, we would like to thank you all very much for helping to make the '2009 Depths of Winter Dinner Dance' at the Melbourne Aquarium such a huge success.

With the fish swimming and the drink flowing this was always going to be a great evening, and feedback from many of our 250+ guests showed that they thoroughly enjoyed the nights’ entertainment and went home very satisfied.

The night was flowing with excitement and up to

$25,000

was raised through fundraising activities such as silent auctions, which included prizes: luxury drop top Porsche weekend car hire, signed Collingwood jersey and beautiful weekends away to name just a few of our many generously donated items.

THANK YOU

Masters of Ceremonies Troy and Zara who are two of Australia’s most experienced facilitators and corporate presenters and rallied the crowed superbly. They have worked with many big Australian and international names, including; Richard Branson, Edward de Bono, Clive James, Tobey McGuire, Matthew McConaughey, David Duchovney, Destiny’s Child, Eric Bana, Heath Ledger, Rove McManus and many others, and did not disappoint the Crowd at this dinner dance at the Melbourne Aquarium.

The Band: Cheeky Business from Martin Entertainment - an experienced Jazz and Blues trio comprising of Jo Kelly Stephenson and musical brothers James and Andrew Ferguson. Provided an exceptional music range throughout the evening and allowed everyone to have a brilliant night.
