2024 Australia Day Party at The Barrel Thief

The lucky raffle winner of a Boeing model aeroplane.

AACC Pacific Northwest would like to thank everybody who turned out for our Australia Day Party on Sunday 28 January at The Barrel Thief in Seattle.

Guests were treated to a delicious spread of appetizers, mains and desserts, as well as a well-stocked selection of beverages at the bar.

Door prizes were awarded, and there were also several great raffle prizes up for grabs. Those prizes included a model Boeing plane, a generous meat tray, a tour of the Boeing factory in Everett, and an accommodation package from our friends at Down Under Answers.

AACC Pacific Northwest also partnered with Qantas to give away two round-trip airfares from a major U.S. hub city to Australia. To be eligible, entrants had to renew or sign up for an AACC membership by January 26.

Congratulations to AACC Pacific Northwest member Katie-Lee Baker on winning the two Qantas round-trip airfares to Australia!

Qantas Director of North American Sales Kristine Schneider flew in from Dallas to draw the membership raffle.

AACC Pacific Northwest would like to thank Jeff Gelting, owner of The Barrel Thief, for hosting our Australia Day Party, as well as his amazing staff.

We would also like to thank Qantas and Down Under Answers for their generous raffle prize donations.

It was wonderful to see so many local Aussies and friends celebrating together, and we’re truly grateful for your ongoing support.
