The Connection's eNewsletter 


WOW we are fast approaching the middle of 08. Where is the year going. The Connection has held many very successful events to date including our annual Corporate Golf Day held this year at Twin Creeks Golf and Country Club and our Budget Luncheon where Peter Switzer disected Labor's first budget for 08/09.

The Equine Flu may have stopped our Race Day plans for 07, but I am pleased to announce that the Connection's Xmas Luncheon will be held at Sydney Turf Club - Rosehill Racecourse on Wednesday 10 December 2008. As always we welcome our members and guests to combine their office Christmas celebrations with ours - Everyone is welcome. Lock this date into your diaries.

You may have already noticed a new section on our website What's happening in Western Sydney.  Each month Red Dwyer will compile a monthly roundup of business and economic activities in Western Sydney. Want to take a look press HERE.
