Bartons Bayside Charity Dinner

Bartons Bayside has come up with a great idea for an annual fundraiser to benefit local charities.

Barton’s Community Charity Dinner last year raised over $50 000.00 for Darling Point Special School which enabled them to purchase a new bus.

This year they have decided to spread the love and divide the proceeds between four worthy local groups.

The intention is for this dinner to be an annual event.

Tickets are all inclusive and $100 for single and $900 for a table of 10.

I urge anyone who is community minded to attend this year’s event on Friday 4 November 6.30 for 7pm at Wynnum Manly Leagues Club, Wondall Rd, Manly West.

To purchase tickets contact Sue Keller on 3396 7777 or email [email protected]. If you can’t attend and would like to donate, please also contact Sue.

I look forward to seeing a full house on the night and this event becoming a highlight of on the annual Wynnum calendar.

Well done Bartons!
