What one of your fellow newsagents had to say about our 2009 Gala Dinner:

"Just a letter of appreciation on behalf of Tony and I, for the wonderful evening at the Regent Theatre on  Saturday 28^th February.

I was reluctant to make the 5 hour trip, but Tony had spoken to the girls at VANA and was eager to attend and meet with fellow newsagents. The fact that we were the only newsagents representing the Mildura region and did not know many people was not an issue once we arrived.

We felt privileged to have one of the best tables in the theatre and I was most excited to win the tickets to ‘Wicked’.

We will certainly put them to good use.

Thanks again for organising such a wonderful event and we will be supporting future Gala events.

Many thanks

Esther Cua
