JUNE
NETWORKING NIGHT A SUCCESS
Held at the stylishly contemporary Miramare Gardens on June 28th, the latest Chamber Networking Event was a tremendous success. Attended by over 60 members and their guests, the evening started at 6.30pm with drinks and networking in the spacious lobby of the function centre. Following drinks, participants enjoyed a delicious 2 Course meal in a private function room, the highlight of which was undoubtedly the delicious chocolate profiteroles. As dessert was being served, the guest speaker for the evening, Mary Bova LLB, from Marks Griffiths & Bova Solicitors gave an informative presentation on the importance of estate planning in ensuring the assets one builds up in life are distributed, and managed properly after one passes away. In particular, Mary discussed testamentary trusts, a type of trust included as part of a person's will that amongst other things ensures that assets pass to children even if a surviving husband/wife remarries, and that assets are protected where a beneficiary becomes bankrupt or divorced. This topic proved to be of great interest to the audience and was the topic of much after dinner discussion! In closing her presentation, Mary urged everyone in the audience to ensure they have an up to date will, and to contact their lawyer or accountant if they had any questions regarding estate planning. Marks Griffiths & Bova Solicitors can be contacted on (02) 9977 1133. After dinner, Santo Severino, the owner of Miramre Gardens, took guests on a tour of the recently constructed property, which features a cigar bar, and an extremely large reception hall that seats up to 1000 guests.
