With over $31,000 raised in the last 2 years for PANDA (Post and Antenatal Depression Assoc) the 2013 Winter Solstice Ladies Luncheon will be held again at the beautiful Sandringham Yacht Club on Thursday 30th May 2013.
Indulge in a delicious and fun afternoon with your girl-friends while helping PANDA continue their work nationwide supporting families. We will be holding raffles, a silent auction, table prizes and lots more. And don't forget Bellevue's famous goodie bags for each lady to take home. The items in each bag (not including vouchers) are worth more than the lunch ticket price!
So get your friends together and book a table now!
Bookings open 10am Friday 15th March. This is a ladies only event.
Entertainment - Comedian Nelly Thomas!
Nelly Thomas has been described as one of Australia’s most natural and intelligent comedians. As well as being an award-winning performer, she was listed as one of Australia’s “most innovative thinkers” in The Age Newspaper’s, The Zone and was recently featured on the ABC’s Big Ideas: The Smartest Stuff on TV, Radio and Online. You’d be hard pressed to find a more engaging, thoughtprovoking comedy experience.
Nelly recently released her latest comedy DVD The Talk (a sexual health and ethics DVD for teens and their carers) and released her first book with Random House Publishing in 2012 to popular and critical acclaim. The book, described as “part memoir, part manifesto” is called What Women Want and canvasses the big issues of the modern era: politics, education, sex, relationships, health, family and Beyonce’s bottom. It is available online and in the shops.
Nelly sprung into comedy suddenly, winning the Triple J National Raw Comedy competition in 2003.
In ten action packed years since then, she has directed Barry Award winning Maria Bamford, toured nationally and internationally, established her own Melbourne comedy room, created and toured several shows (including the highly acclaimed and unique The No Means No Show) and has performed in over a dozen festivals in Australia and around the world. She pops up on the telly and wireless and is a prolific tweeter. She’s also grown two humans of her own, one of them just a few months ago.
Nelly continues to do live work in the community and government sectors, in particular, as a highly sought after speaker, MC and producer of custom-made performances, specialising in social commentary and health promotion. She has many years of experience in these and related fields (especially women’s health and adolescent health) and is currently doing graduate studies in psychology at the University of Melbourne in her spare time to bolster this work.
(No, she doesn’t have “work-life” balance - she talks a lot about it though.)
