Resilient Lismore is holding its first formal dinner, Hearts and Stars, at the Lismore Regional Gallery on 19th September.
“We welcome locals to dress up, dine and celebrate our strengths, while raising our spirits!” said Elly Bird, Executive Director.
The evening promises glamour, fun, and community connection – all while raising funds to support Resilient Lismore’s ongoing recovery and resilience work across the Northern Rivers. There will be games to play and prizes to win – including best dressed award!.
“The theme is ‘Hearts and Stars’, so we’re encouraging guests to wear their hearts on their sleeves and shine like stars,” said Emma Newman, Events Coordinator. “It’s a chance to feel fabulous while supporting something really meaningful.”
The MC for the evening will be funny lady Gabrielle Griffin (GG), who you may know from band duo Mutton, or previously from The Two Frocks, or maybe even from the face of the Sun at the recent Lantern Parade.
Local musicians will provide dulcet tunes, and games will be played for prizes. Sumptuous catering will be provided by Take Care Cafe, the new cafe at the gallery.
Funds raised will support Resilient Lismore to continue to offer a free tool library, community events, workshops in tool and repair skills and support locals to be better prepared for future disasters.
