On Monday, 20th May, Australian Consul General Heather Ridout AO graciously hosted us at her private residence for the Annual AWNY Spring Fling.
The sun shone, and delicious canapes and lavender-infused cocktails flowed as our AWNY members and volunteers mingled on the garden terrace overlooking the East River.
The dress code for the event was “floral,” and all attendees brought their best and brightest botanic-inspired outfits.
From meeting new connections to catching up with old friends, it was an opportunity to deepen our community and celebrate the contributions of many amazing Aussie and Kiwi women in NYC.
We’d like to thank Heather Ridout AO for generously hosting us for this annual soiree, and we look forward to continuing to work with her as a patron of AWNY. We’d also like to thank Gabrielle and Alexandra from the Consulate team for all their efforts to plan such a fabulous event.
