It was a magical night of fun, laughter and even a few tears as we hosted women from across Sydney at our third familyroom live event in Sydney, Australia this weekend.
Friendships were formed, conversations started and stories shared during an unforgettable evening at Chatswood RSL, staged in partnership with ShoreCare, the community services arm of North Shore Christian Centre.
Family Room founder Susan Sohn flew in from Canada to host the night and inspire women from all over Sydney to build extraordinary families, develop strong relationships and strengthen the communities they live in.
The personal stylists from ZaZaZu shared their wisdom on how to update your wardrobe and highlight your best features with the right colour selections. Lena, thefamilyroom’s adopted hair stylist snipped her way through a live makeover and resident familyroom chef Sam Cosatto, the culinary whizz behind many of our tried and true recipes, conjured up a mouthwatering white chocolate mousse live on stage with samples for all to try.
A high point in the evening came as we honoured an amazing woman of strength, Frances de Sauty, who has faced life as a quadriplegic since suffering terrible injuries in a road accident. Her inner strength and amazing spirit are a constant inspiration to those around her. Daughter Felicity, only 13 years old in December 1999 when her mother’s accident turned family life upside down, delivered a moving speech paying tribute to a woman whose generosity and positive outlook impact everyone she meets. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house.
In addition to a sea of gift bags, amazing giveaways were handed out throughout the evening, with women keen to show off their best Bollywood and Irish dancing in a bid to bag a prize.
The pictures above are a quick sample of the night’s proceedings, but look out for a full photo gallery on the events page soon.
