:: 23 November 2003
 Send any photo as an ecard to your friends!
The "Emerald Bushtime" Sydney Garden Party
took place on Sunday 23 November 2003 at the beautiful
harbourside home of Lady Mary Fairfax.
Over 510 people attended the event, despite the rain,
yes rain in Sydney, it was a wonderful occasion. Sir
Anthony O'Reilly was our guest of honour and he gave
an erudite and entertaining address.
The most delightful feature of the day was the announcement
of the magnificent gift of $1 million from Lady Mary
Fairfax to fund "The Sir Warwick Fairfax Trust"
for integrated education in Ireland
We thank Lady Fairfax sincerely for this
most generous and valuable gift.
We had support from so many sponsors and table captains,
a copy of our programme for the day acknowledging
all those people is attached.
The work of the Australian Ireland Fund provides
a sense of hope for our grant recipients to cling
to. Our work is more vital than ever before. We owe
an enormous debt of gratitude to all our supporters,
quite simply, our work would not be possible without
your help.
Thank you!
