About 80 members of the Association gathered to celebrate the festive season on Wednesday 16 December. Mrs Judith R. Fergin generously opens her residence to the Association each year for its Holiday Party.

The weather cooperated, and guests were able to wander the beautiful terraces and grounds of  the U.S. Consulate residence.

Guests dined on a wonderful buffet prepared by Hassan Baalbaki, chef to the U.S. Consul-General. Corporate sponsors Coopers/Premium Beverages supplied their new pilsener '62' and Casella Wines supplied the [yellowtail] for the evening.

Entertainment was provided by The Ramalamas, a country-rock band based in Sydney, who had a number of the guests dancing well into the evening.

In addition to Mr. & Mrs. Fergin and her family, guests included Asssociation Board members, and corporate and individual members and their guests.

The Association wishes to thank Mr. & Mrs. Fergin and their family for their hospitality, as well as the genrous support of Coopers and Casella Wines.
