2012 Canberra Scholarship Lunch

Thank you to those who made it to the 2012 Podmore Foundation Scholarship Presentation Lunch at the Royal Canberra Golf Club. We had lovely weather, lovely food and drink, and lovely people.

Lovely Podmore supporters in Canberra

Special thanks to Mary Porter AM, MLA, a benefactor from Podmore’s earliest days, who presented certificates to three very special young ladies, Larissa, Lyric and Mia. We were honoured to host Cath Ingram, Partner, Federal Government, KPMG Canberra and CEO Sleep out Canberra 2011

Thanks as well to Meaghan D’Arcy, who prepared the scholarship certificates, and Nicola Breen for taking the attached pictures with a little help from Cameron, the Club’s function manager. It was great to see Nicky in some photos for a change.

Congratulations and thanks to Matt Plant, Communications Manager, Yalari, for his great speech and very moving DVD on what all of us are involved in and why it is important. We will have a Podmore contingent at the Yalari fundraiser in Sydney on 10 May to see the DVD’s ‘world premiere’. Matt has invited our own Larissa Woosup to speak at the event.

Special thanks also to Kelly Breen and Clint McDonnell for ‘front of house’ duties, and Stacy Bosel, Podmore Secretary, for all of his ‘behind the scenes’ work.

We acknowledge and thank our generous philanthropic partners, Yalari, KPMG-Canberra, Canberra Girls Grammar School, The Duntroon Society, ADFA Graduates Association, ADFA and The Caroline McDonald Foundation.
