Another fabulous Skal lunch at Hadleys yesterday and another Skalleague showing us their talents on the piano. Humble cheese maker, Chairman of TICT and impressive pianist - Dan Leesong.
More photos from the rest of the lunch to come 🙂
Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to our Skålleagues near and far. Wishing you happiness, good health, friendship, long life ...and full bellies and hearts from spent time with loved ones. We raise a great Tassie tipple to you all today 🥂
Skåleagues Geoff Young and Tony Fox entertained us on Wednesday with Alfred Merse and Ross Smith as back up dancers.
Congratulations to our 2021 Skalleague of the Year, Dave Flower. Dave has been at the forefront of content production for our tourism industry as co-owner and producer with Hype tv, and has worked alongside many fellow Skalleagues to showcase our great island state. Dave and his team are also responsible for producing the Tasmanian Tourism Awards among other major awards ceremonies. Dave has been a true champion throughout these challenging times, always there to lend a hand, and was recently presented with a life membership in recognition of outstanding service to Variety the Children's Charity TAS. Thanks to Dave's team @ Hype tv for helping us put this video presentation together (without Dave's knowledge - which was a huge feat in itself!)
Thank you to Premier Peter Gutwein for the welcome address for the Skal International Australia 104th National Assembly held yesterday via Zoom.
Dear Skalleagues,
I’m reaching out to appeal to your generous nature as members of the hospitality, travel and tourism industry.
As you may have read in the news yesterday Foodbank have received a Federal funding cut. This decision was reversed and funding has been restored this morning however only 2% of this funding flows to Tasmania.
The following Tasmanian statistics are startling: Last year Foodbank in TASMANIA alone provided more than 2.5 million meals out of their warehouses. They also run a free breakfast program at 109 schools.
Ed Gauden of Foodbank Tasmania said that the warehouses are the emptiest he has seen. This is dreadful news particularly as we approach the lead up to Christmas.
We are calling on your support TODAY to help Tasmanian families in need of food.
• BOOK YOUR PLACE to join us for lunch at the Foodbank warehouse next week – invite guests and join us on the Red Decker Bus. Bring your work colleagues, mother, brother or neighbours! RSVP HERE. https://www.facebook.com/events/251960869005015/
• Talk to your kitchen teams to see if there is any food that can be sent to foodbank today?
Phone: 03 6274 1052

I urge you to support this very worthy organisation that assists our fellow Tasmanian’s with the most basic of needs.
Yours in Skål,
Sarah
President Skål International Hobart
