2008 " Making the Puzzle Easier" Dinner

The 2008 VCFS "Making the Puzzle Easier" dinner was a huge success. We had 240 guests at the Epping Club and raised more than expected. We had a huge list of sponsors. The guest speakers for the night were Neil Nicholl and  Nicole Sheffield- General Manager Lifestyle Channels, Foxtel.  The highlight of the night was the special saxophone performance by Calum Staples. He is truly an inspiration to all of us.

2008 VCFS Awareness Week

With awareness week set to start next week, the foundation has organised stands at Randwick and Westmead Childrens Hospitals, Westfield Chatswood, Penrith Plaza, Warringah Mall, Macquarie Centre and Kiama. Lets hope that VCFS will soon be a household name.
