The "500 Club".

The "500 Club" was a spontaneous idea that I came up with as the evening wore on.

After support was given by several other guests for the concept it was announced just after the raffle.

The "500 Club" is a one-off and has only ten members - each member paid Au$500 for the privilege. Membership of the fund raiser was restricted to those attending the birthday party and money had to be paid by midnight.

The members also got a free hard copy book of Helen Dodd's biography "Pauline, the Hanson Phenomenon".

A "500 Club" group photo was taken with Pauline... and Au$5,000 had been raised for the party.
