10th Annual Spring Art for Charity

Thank you to the Queanbeyan Arts Society who held their 10th Annual Spring Art for Charity in Canberra supporting MND. It was their most successful annual art show with many wonderful artworks on display. A donation of $4,486 was made to MND NSW, and we thank all members of the Society for their very generous support. Pictured at the event from left to right are Amy Critchley (MND NSW Board Member), Mr Gordon Ramsay (Minister for the Arts ACT MLA), Barry Cranston (President, Queanbeyan Art Society), and Mr Tim Overall (Queanbeyan Palerang Mayor).

The Cavalcade of History and Fashion

Thank you to the Lions Club of Canberra Brindabella who held a wonderful afternoon fashion parade in support of MND, raising $6,500. The Cavalcade of History and Fashion is a collection of original historic gowns and accessories dating from the 1700s preserving Australia's social and fashion history. Our thanks also to MND NSW Ambassador Nicole Papasidero for attending the event.
