GO Maara Lunch and Party Fundraiser

On a cold, smoky August afternoon in chic Ponsonby the incandescent orange flame of Troy Restaurant’s sentinel pierces the winter haze. Signalling the start of the GO Maara Lunch Fundraiser.

The irresistible odours of Middle Eastern cuisine patiently wait to creep down the steep stairs of Troy to invisibly but warmly greet the arrival of GO Staff past and present.

Your host Bill Mathews waits to guide you through an afternoon filled with fun and entertainment. “Freddie” Mercury will be on hand to remind you why you still listen to Queen cds and risk body parts to squeeze into those tight fitting outfits. Of course no afternoon is complete at Troy without the rhythmic belly dancer mesmerizing the crowd before callously choosing her “dancing” prey from the uncoordinated, unsuspecting males present.

Let’s not forget, that with a loud chorus of encouragement we can expect Bill to perform his show-stopping, remixed, digitally re-mastered and slightly slurred “Wolverton Mountain” rendition. That’s always such a special moment.

We look forward to seeing you there. It will be a fabulous party and a wonderful show of support for Maara and her family.

Our target is still $5,000 and we are confident it will be reached but need your support to achieve this.
