Even with busy schedules everyone needs to take the time to catch up with old friends and make new ones. On Thursday, 1 June, the New Women of Newington, a Parents and Friends group came together at the Annual NEW Women Cocktail Function. The night was a social gathering for current mothers of Newington boys hosted at Aqua Luna Waterfront Dining in Drummoyne. It was a sellout event with more than 200 mothers attending and was organised by Nikki Harmer, the Vice President of New Women.

Other than swapping stories and getting to know each other, the night aimed to raise funds for Year 11 rower Harry Crouch who is representing Australia in the World Junior Rowing Championships. By the end of the night, over $1,300 was raised to help send Harry to Trakai, Lithuania. We wish Harry all the best.

Thank you to all of those who attended. Looking forward to seeing all the mothers at the next event.
