Centenary Celebration Launch Cocktail Party

With well over 100 members in attendance on Wednesday 4 May, speeches were given by the Graduate Union Chairman Mr David Sparks, our President the Hon John Cain and the Centenary Committee Chair Mrs Glenda Fisher. Dr David McCredie was awarded an Honorary Life Membership for his outstanding contribution to medicine, particularly children’s health and a cake was presented to the Graduate Union to celebrate our Birthday. Dr McCredie kindly cut the cake which was followed by a rendition of Happy Birthday by all in attendance.

The food and wine flowed throughout the evening with guests enjoying something different as our Assistant Cook Nelson, displayed flair when preparing a stir fry served on individual Asian spoons at his station situated within the function room.

We all look forward to further celebrations to commemorate our Centennial year!
