Hugh Riminton was an excellent MC at our function, very professional and easy to work with.
On behalf of the Parari Steering Committee and Thales, I would like to thank you for your time last night. You were of course everything we had hoped for in a guest speaker and the way that you weaved Remembrance Day and Soldier On together was perfect - we have received nothing but praise for your address. Today we will continue to push hard to raise funds for Soldier On at this event and your talk last night will aide that mission. In fact I know that you lead directly to an increase in bids of about $2k last night alone. Thank you again.
