Welcome function to raise funds for local kids

The official AUSTimber Welcome function will be held on Thursday 29 March 2012 at the prestigious Barn Steak House in Mount Gambier and hold a charity auction to raise funds for local disadvantaged children.
This premier industry networking event will welcome all international, national and local visitors to the AUSTimber 2012 Conference and Expo, with a special key note speaker, celebrity auctioneer and quality dinner. It is the prime opportunity to network with colleagues across this broad industry.
The AUSTimber Welcome function will not only be the place to network but will also show the industry’s support to the community by raising funds via its charity auction for local children. Organisers have put the call out to generous businesses and individuals to donate goods that can be auctioned. Names will be promoted on the night as a generous donor. Please contact [email protected] to donate auction items.
The Barn has been selected as the venue for the function because it is the only restaurant in Mount Gambier to have been continually recognised for its excellence. The Barn has won numerous awards, most recently the 2011 Restaurant & Catering Award of Excellence for Steak and Best Wine List.
AUSTimber organisers encourage early bookings because if it is like the 2008 Welcome function it will again be a sell out and already over fifty percent of tickets have been sold. To book please visit the AUSTimber 2012 website or contact [email protected]
