THE cardinal fashion rule of ’blue and green must never be seen, unless there is a colour in between’ went out the window on Friday for Outlook’s Trivia Night.
The event, to raise awareness for the newly-built $4.3 million dollar Outlook Community Centre in Toomuc Valley Road, had a blue and green them.
People were dressed as frogs, leprechauns, a variety of ‘onesies’, and in blue and green lycra. Outlook CEO, Tony Fitzgerald, was sporting a frog hat given to him by his daughter Alex.
Quiz Master Fraser challenged the participants with trivia rounds on Australiana, entertainment, The World Around Us and entertained everyone by singing 10 songs in the music round. The winning team on the night was ‘Macca’s Table’, which was populated by Outlook Deputy CEO’s Anne McCormick, her family and their friends.
With over 50 silent auction items, kindly donated by local businesses, the night raised over $4000 to help out with the cost of items to fit out the new building.
The existing Outlook Community Centre was partially destroyed in the 2011 floods and a building has been constructed in its place.
The new building, expect to open in April 2014, will house the administration team, the current community centre team and their classes, a 120-seat function room for parties and conferences and six program rooms for hire.
Outlook will hold an additional fund-raiser, the ‘Wheel and Walk for Outlook’, on Sunday 17 November from 10am to 2pm at Lakeside.
Registration is a donation of $10 for singles, $20 for a family of up to six members or $40 for a team of four.
Games, a barbecue, jumping castle, pony rides, tai chi and yoga demonstrations as well as marquees promoting Outlook’s services, volunteering opportunities and environmental team will be on the front lawns of the Cardinia Cultural Centre until 2pm. To register for the Wheel and Walk for Outlook go to www.trybooking.com/DOOR or register from 9.30am on the day.
