To help the victims of the Queensland floods, the Australian Chamber of Commerce in Vietnam (AusCham) is holding a fundraiser at Jaspas/Vino tonight, with all the money to go directly to the Premier’s Flood Relief Appeal in the Australian state.
Tickets cost VND300,000 out of which VND200,000 will go to the appeal via Commonwealth Bank transfer. Jaspas/Vino will take VND100,000 to cover some of their costs.
Ticket price includes beer, wine, basic spirits, snacks. If you are interested in donating raffle or auction prizes contact Fiona Terry (0907 613 947), Derrin Limbrick (0907 944 8799) or Phil Johns (0933 032 296).
According to the AusCham release there are currently 15 dead, 61 missing and 15,000 residential and commercial properties affected by the flooding in Queensland.
“We will raise some money which will seem like a drop in a Queensland flood. But, perhaps more importantly, as a community from half way across the world, we will come together to raise that money in a gesture of solidarity,” the AusCham announcement said.
The event will be at Jaspas/Vino 74/7 Hai Ba Trung St, District 1 HCMC, at 6.30-8.30 pm, tonight, Monday Jan. 17.
