Jazzy Summer Soiree

Posted by on 4 March 2018

What could be better on a summer evening, than enjoying a drink and delicious finger foods while the sun sets over Mt Eden, in a beautiful garden, all for a good cause?

The Jazzy Summer Soiree organised by the Friends of the HOPE, was a great success; friendly, relaxed with live jazz creating a wonderful atmosphere.
