Girls Night Out to Eat Pray Love Raises $1262 for the Cancer Council

Brighton didn't know where all these women had come from when they gathered at the Dendy Palace Cinema on the night of 7th October.

They were here to catch up with the special women in their lives, mothers, daughters, sisters, girlfriends for the charity movie event "Eat Pray Love" on its nationwide opening night.

Organised by Helen Blunden of the Rotary Club of Moorleigh Moorabbin, the event was part of the Australian Cancer Council October 'Girls Night' Campaign that encourages women to host events to raise funds and awareness for womens cancers. This year, the Cancer Council hopes to raise $1 million towards cancer research and this small event contributed $1262.00 towards the goal through ticket sales and raffle prizes.

It was a special night out, not only to support a worthy cause but it was an event that was shared with the special women in our lives.

A Multicultural Concert in Esperanto?

Syd responded to a competition through a local community flyer and he got SECOND PLACE! Here's his entry...

***********************************************************************************************

"I have been reading the leaflet about the Multicultural Concert Series and would like to offer a name for the event. The words used in the "ideas" section of the leaflet relate, in one way or another, to a one-ness of people as does the expression "multicultural". As a play on words, the alternative meaning of concert is 'acting together for a common purpose."

Consequently a very simple translation for all these togetherness words and the series itself would be: "one people in concert". I have taken the liberty of translating the phrase into Esperanto, which is regarded the world language and this is my entry into the competition....

"UNU POPOLO en KONCERTO"
