Cocktail Party
Background
In November the CCA Parliamentary
Friendship Group (PFG) hosted a lunch in the Sir Frederick Holder Room in
Parliament House to promote Crohn’s and Colitis Australia (CCA). The PGF is co chaired by Bernie Ripoll
(Queensland Labour MP) recently appointed Parliamentary Secretary to the Treasurer,
and Andrew Laming, (Queensland Liberal MP). The lunch featured talks by Dr Paul
Pavli, a gastroenterologist from Canberra Hospital, Luke Escombe, entertainer
with Crohn’s, one of CCA’s ambassadors (see current CCA Autumn magazine) and
Francesca Manglaviti, CEO of CCA. A number of MPs and Senators attended the
lunch which was sponsored by 5 leading pharmaceutical companies.
Following this lunch Francesca prepared a
major CCA pre Budget submission to Treasury seeking Government funds for 3
projects (with the support of, and advice from PFG members).

ReplyDeleteWe had a great time at the cocktail reception. Luke Escombe was very entertaining and a great ambassador for CCA. I have received a photo of some support group members at the event. I will publish it here if I can.
