The Unveiling of Baptcare: A Launch to Remember

Over 160 guests attended the launch of the new Baptcare brand, surrounded by twinkling fairy lights, music and magicians on June the 1st 2006.

The event was held in Richmond’s Rydges Riverwalk Marquee, with the generous hotel partially sponsoring the event.  Through the hotel’s generosity, Baptcare was able to celebrate a significant milestone in its 62 year history, in a special way.

Baptcare supporters, government representatives, service providers, partners, staff, board members and other constituents all attended, eager to see the new look and feel of an organisation that has gained respect for its care within the community.

Kilvington Baptist Girl’s Grammar’s string quartet warmly welcomed guests with their melodic sounds providing elegant background music.  The girls generously donated their time for this function, playing with the true skill of a professional group and receiving many compliments throughout the night.  

The crowd was entertained by Magician/Comedian Ben Bradshaw who provided hilarious crowd pleasers and mind blowing magic with watches disappearing from wrists and wedding rings going up in smoke (all to be returned in original condition, of course!)

Due to the support of all that attended, the launch was a great success and will be fondly remembered.   Thank you to all who made this special event possible, especially Rydges Riverwalk who proudly sponsored part of the evening.
