The past three years we have been unable to attend this FIDA night because the dates have clashed with our presentation night, however this year we can attend as a club and are looking to fully support this great night with FIDA which is used as a fundraiser for our footy Association.
Our last committee meeting we made a confident commitment to have at least 20 Mazenod Panthers people to attend this night, we have 10 definite starters and require a further 10 more to represent Mazenod Panthers on the night.
The night will have a three course dinner, special guests, and silent auctions.
Last time we attended this function, one of our party won a 10 day holiday to Port Douglas, so please email me if you would like to attend this fabulous night.
WHERE: Windy Hill Essendon Football ground. WHEN: Friday 24th August COST: $70 per head.
