Swannie, John MacFarlane had committed to picking up two tickets to the Gala Ball of the year in Saigon; Auscham’s Arabian Nights Ball.
But then, he realised he was going to be in Australia on 15 September – the date of the Ball. Doh!
No problem. Just another Mega Swannies’ Opportunity.
With tickets purchased just yesterday, John has declared that they will be up for grabs in Saturday’s fortnightly Scratch Match in Saigon between the Reds and the Whites.
Both tickets will be awarded as one prize for the “Heart of a Swannie” – as voted on by the National President himself.
“No-one can say that isn’t a truly legitimate prize”, says John. Regardless, it should be a truly mega awesome prize.
For those who haven’t already bought your tickets, it will take place at the InterContinental Asiana Saigon.
The ballroom will be transformed into an “oasis of decoration and entertainment”. Guests will enjoy free flow drinks and a special Arabian four-course meal.
Tickets are highly sought after and are selling quickly. So if you haven’t already, get on board now. Entrance per person is VND3,165,000 or VND31,650,000 per table of 10.
An array of prizes will also be up for grabs on the evening thanks to AusCham’s sponsors. Funds from the raffle tickets and silent auction at the event will be donated to the Loreto Australia-Vietnam Program. Proceeds will be used to renovate and buy equipment for a multi-sensory room at Nguyen Dinh Chieu School for the Blind in District 10.
To donate prizes or buy tickets for this event, please contact events@auschamvn.org or call 3832 9912. So, time to get aboard your magic carpet and enjoy a night of exotic tastes and senses.
