Parafed Otago 45th Anniversary Dinner & Xmas Function.
An extremely successful function held on the 8th December at the Mecure Leisure Lodge was undeniably an appropriate tribute to the Late Fr Leo Close – founder of the Dunedin Association.
A large number of attendees at the function enjoyed keynote speeches from the following: - Bill Lean, Gini Stuck (nee Dodge), John Masters, Dr Dave Gerrard and May Perry.
Throughout the evening a slide presentation displayed a pictorial calendar of various association members involved in the movement since its conception in 1964.
An excellent meal which was very generously provided by Parafed Otago capped off the evening which was extremely well organized by John & Nickola Marrable.
