Lynns Lunch 2010

Thank you to everyone who joined us for the 2010 AEIOU Lynn’s Lunch at Moda Events Portside on Friday 14 May. Over 260 guests enjoyed a day of fine food, fine wine and great entertainment. This year marked the 5th anniversary of Lynn's Lunch and celebrates five years since AEIOU's first centre opened at Moorooka and the many children and families who have been benefitted in that time.

Jonathon Welch AM (creator of Choir of Hard Knocks and judge on Battle of the Choirs) was our special guest speaker talking about the benefits of music therapy in the development of children with autism and special needs. Motivational speaker and award-winning blind guitarist, Lorin Nicholson also joined us to share stories of his extraordinary life in music, sport, and business. The highlight of the day for many was the amazing duet between Lorin and Jonathon, with Jonathon signing the moving Hallelujah that had many of the crowd in tears before earning a standing ovation.

Melissa Downes from Channel 9 news once again did a wonderful job as MC for the day. In all we raised over $30,000 for the Lynn Wright Memorial Fund which will directly benefit those families who require financial assistance to ensure their child can attend AEIOU and receive the best possible opportunity to reach their full potential.
