Christmas In July Dinner

Last Saturday 120 parents and staff pulled on their dancing shoes to celebrate “Christmas in July”.  Merrimu Receptions was transformed into a Christmas wonderland and a very festive night was had by all.

Guests were greeted by De La Salle College’s very talented student jazz band who set the scene with their Christmas themed music to accompany the pre-dinner drinks and canapés.  The great music continued throughout the night with Lady & The Tramp who drew the crowds onto the dance floor.

A special thank you to Cate Robertson, Sharon Herdman and Jo McAuliffe for bringing the whole night together! The attention to detail was amazing and the countless hours spent by these ladies in preparation, organisation and then clean up on Sunday morning, is very much appreciated.

A highlight of the night was a trip to the “sweet table”, dripping with delicacies including gingerbread houses, brownies, rocky road, chocolates, marshmallows….and more!  Many thanks to our talented bakers Sam Pickering, Cate Robertson, Jo McAuliffe, Sharon Herdman, Lou Harris and Michelle Peterson for providing a delicious selection of treats to top off the meal.

Thank you also to College Photographer Jonathan Hewett for capturing the essence of the night on film, to Angela Carlino for managing all things administrative and to Michelle Peterson and Lou Harris for their assistance with the beautiful decorations.

Thanks also to the following sponsors who provided some fantastic donations for the Door Prizes and Raffle.
