Phoenix Lunch #3 Coming Up!
Back in February in response to Black Saturday and the bushfires that attacked so many places and people in our state (Victoria Australia), Pink Apple and two friends decided to run a fundraiser. (Yes we DID say "how hard could it be?" and learned the REALLY hard way!)
Apart from the fundraising, the event was such a social and networking success that we've been pressured by our Melbourne businesswomen colleagues to repeat (and repeat) the process!
Another Phoenix Lunch
So the latest Phoenix Lunch is now on sale. Most of you who've expressed interest, are now on our database and received personal information about the Lunch. But just in case we've missed anybody, I thought I'd let you know how to register and book for the lunch.
If you'd just like to know about the Lunch so you can make a decision, then click through to The Phoenix Lunch website and have a read.
If you already know enough and you'd like to book, here is the direct link to the registration page, don't forget to complete your registration with your payment via PayPal which will allow you to pay by credit card, debit card and EFT.
Of course, fundraising is still our objective (as well as fun and networking) and this Lunch is supporting Post and Ante Natal Depression Association (PANDA). There's a poll on our website and everyone who's read it and taken the poll has had personal experience or knows someone close who's walked through this terrifying illness! That's how significant this is to women!
One More Thing …
There's a bonus for those who take out Super Early Bird priced tickets. There's a draw for several free seats at a workshop that we three are unning in February. Yes Pink Apple, Angela Esnouf from Creating Order from Chaos and Janet Powell the Parenting Coach from Mentor Maestro are presenting a new program called Keys to a Calmer HomeLife. But more details of that later …
Also We're Looking for Sponsors
If you're interested in pampering our attendees then why not become a sponsor. More information about our Jade, Ruby, and Pearl Sponsors here.
If you'd just like to find out the background story, then feel free to have aread here!
YOU'RE INVITED to The Phoenix Lunch
If you're a Woman then Pink Apple, Creating Order from Chaos and Mentor Maestro have got a FANTASTIC event for YOU.
What's more, all of the funds raised from the many prizes, auctions and donation envelopes will go to support the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009,
You
see we're all Melbourne women, feeling powerless to change the
devastation that last weekend's fire storms had on people living in
Victoria.
Many of those killed and left homeless are from the
very outskirts of our city. Most people know someone who has lost
loved ones, friends, or property in these areas.
So rather than just feel powerless, we decided to take action and RAISE MONEY amongst our favourite people – other Women.
We're inviting ALL women (businesswomen and stay-at-home mums) to join us for The Phoenix Lunch.

What's In It For You?
Well apart from lifting some of that
sense of powerlessness and warming the cockles of the heart because
you've made a difference …
There is:
- Some Networking Development led by networking expert Brenda Thomson of Networking World.
We'll all learn how to use our BEST WOMANLY SKILL – networking. That's
to our advantage as both businesswomen with products and services out
there in the marketplace, and as consumers seeking great products and
services. - Finding out about the amazing array of women's services from the inserts in your take-away goodies bag.
- Lots of Fun, Laughter, and the very important ESWB (Exchanging of
Secret Women's Business, of course!!!) It should be good for meeting
new people, finding new ways to make our lives easier AND a bit of HOT
gossip as well!
How Will That Help Bushfire Victims?
A Senior CFA
Representative will give us some insights on what lies ahead for our
state and where our donations will need to be funnelled.
We'll
get you opening your purses/wallets for Donation Envelopes (receipts
will follow), Auctions, Raffles, Door Prizes, Spot Prizes. All these
prizes are being generously donated! (Can you Help?)
IF
you feel the need to bring goods for the victims (Red Cross tell us
money is best) then please limit the donations to new-only, female,
health/personal products and cosmetics and bring them along on the
day. There’ll be a box for those donations.
So Are You Coming?
We
want to fill our venue with 150 talking women. Can you help us? Can
you MAKE TIME to join us at this important charity event?
Even if
you live interstate, you could still join us. 
Why not consider
it? The Cause is worth flying for and worth every flying dollar!
Can YOU Help Rebuild Communities in Ashes?
A Community in Ashes
For overseas readers of this blog, you'll know Victoria (Melbourne is where I live) has been beset by devastating bush fires in this last week.
While
the death toll is officially 181 the real toll will definitely be much
higher! 1800 houses have been lost and 7000 have no home.
As I
looked at the blood red sun going down last night and rising again this
morning, I join other Victorians in fearing that the returning heat of
this coming week might mean we have more bushfires to deal with.
The fire front is still massive but better contained.
Like you, Pink Apple and my colleagues Angela Esnouf of Creating Order from Chaos, and Janet Powell of Mentor Maestro have been horrified by the impact of the bushfires.
Like all of you, we felt powerless.
Like all good small business people, we decided to take action.
How?
Well what else but get women together to talk to each other? We've called it The Phoenix Lunch. A Women's Networking Lunch in Support of the Red Cross Victorian Bushfire Appeal 2009.
Our target is 150 bums on seats. (That's how many the venue will hold.)
Can YOU help?
- Can you come along to enjoy a great lunch, donate some money, meet some marvellous women, win some stunning prizes, and help reach the 150 target?
- How many of your contacts can you share this invitation with?
- When you think about all the people you know, can you ask any of your contacts for any of the things on our wish list?(see below)
- Can you or your business offer any goods or services to the prize pool?
- Do you or your contacts know any entertainment or sporting celebrities (especially women) who could help raise the profile of The Phoenix Lunch? (We desperately NEED a professional media person to MC the event!)
- Are you interested in promoting your business
with marketing materials or offers to be included in the guest’s
goodies bag? If you can’t attend, but you'd like to market to these
women, then you’ll need to donate $50 to the Bushfire Appeal.
(Attendees and donors of prizes with a value of more than $50 can
provide promotional material for free.) - all enquiries or offers can be sent to ThePhoenixLunch@gmail.com
