Refugee Week Art Show and 5th Birthday celebration
During the week of 15th - 22nd June, Refugee Week - the walls of the Circle Cafe displayed art created
both by refugees themselves and by you generous artists. The Art Show created a lot of interest.
Our 5th Birthday celebration last Sunday went very well. We had over 90 guests.
Tanya Plibersek, Federal Member for Sydney & Minister For Housing, spoke glowingly of the
achievements of BASF. Heavenly food, good wines and a terrific African drumming group made
for a very enjoyable afternoon. We sold more than half of our 72 art works and raised over $6,000.
