During October, HNC ACT staff attended, as guests of Artusi, the annual Canberra Starlight Ball “Wish Upon A Star” held at the National Arboretum raising money for the Starlight foundation. A mix of staff attended including showroom sales representatives, co-ordinators, warehouse administration and stock controllers.

We were treated to Carnivale performers, James Tobin (TV Presenter) who was the nights MC and a special performance by Tim Omaji (formally known as Timomatic). One of our staff had a dance battle with him on the dance floor and he was very impressed with her skills.

It was a heart warming night filled with stories of the work the Starlight foundation do for unwell children, teenagers and their families across Australia. A massive amount of money was raised with the help of Canberra businesses.

Attendees: Megan Wilson, Harrison Sherrington, Grace Buckley, Dylan Sithideth, Nathan Mathouchanh, Emma Suitor-Clark, Win Tun, Parth Patel, Leeta Golenberg and Charmi Patel.

Artusi not only purchased a table for the night but also generously donated one of the silent auction prizes.
