AAA Martini Party

noemail@americanaustralian.org — Tue, 13 May 2008 19:00:00 GMT

The AAA hosted a Martini Night for members and guests at the Pegasus Suite of the famous Rainbow Room on Thursday, May 1. With over 230 members and guests in attendance, it was a great night to mingle and chat with new and familiar faces while overlooking the stunning evening view of Manhattan. It was a fitting tribute to the AAA, who this year is celebrating their 60th anniversary.

Martini’s were plentiful and delicious stations of pasta and antipasto kept everyone going, although the outright favorite were the racks of lamb. By the end of the night the dance floor was packed with everyone dancing to great songs ranging from disco to Top40 from both the USA and Oz.

We had many wonderful prizes for our raffle with ticket sales benefitting the AAA’s Dame Joan Sutherland Fund. Congratulations to our two winners for taking home two return airfares to Australia. Thank you to our raffle prize donations from Qantas, The Australian and Fosters Group.

Many thanks to our major sponsors - ANZ Expat Mortgages and Macquarie Group for their fabulous support of the Martini Night and the AAA.

We look forward to seeing you at our next event!
