Lutheran Care Gala Dinner 2023

Lutheran Care Gala Dinner 2023 //

 

Around 600 guests attended the Adelaide Oval on Friday 10 November, for a party with purpose!

Lutheran Care’s 2023 Gala Dinner was proudly brought to you by LLL Australia.

Guests enjoyed three superb courses prepared by award-winning chef Philip Pope, premium wines, live entertainment and the opportunity to support South Australians in crisis.

Keito worked on the event as onsite staff. This was a really rewarding and amazing event.

The excellent selection of live and silent auction items helped Lutheran Care raise almost $200,000 in urgently needed funds for the hundreds of families in crisis through their Emergency Relief program.

Testimonials

We enjoyed working with you and your team and Keito was a huge part of the success of Exercise Aurora.

I have never worked with a professional conference organiser before and if I’m honest I didn’t quite know what to expect.

However, watching Keito support Kim, Dan and my whole exercise team added proved that this was one of the best decisions we made during planning.

Your team were responsive, provided professional advice and took away some of the administrative burden that we have carried at previous national exercises.

Because of Keito, NEMA was able to focus on what we do best and Exercise Aurora was an incredible success as a result.

Jo and I wanted to say a big thank you for all your work with the healing camp. We know we have the wind-up part still to do, but your approach to this event and partnership with us has been brilliant. We said to each other as we drove home yesterday that we can learn a lot from you about being unflappable, practical, solution-focused and patient! Look forward to further conversations once the dust settles and we wrap things up.

The recent State/Local Government Economic Partnerships Forum held on Friday, 24 March 2023, was an important event for this, my second term as Minister for Local Government. 

I wanted to begin a conversation with the local government sector that was respectful of the role councils play in the lives of their communities, and encouraging of the greater role they can play in partnering with—and participating in—the State Government’s economic growth agenda for South Australia. 

An undertaking like the Forum takes many hands and a considerable effort to organise. I have been advised that the team from Keito did a terrific job in providing support and helping to make the event as successful as it demonstrably was. 

I extend my personal gratitude and appreciation for the work you and your team did to make it seem effortless. Please pass on my appreciation to your team. 

Again, thank you.

Jade and I worked together last week in Fiji for the Coloplast National Sales Meeting, as well as spending months of hard work preparing for this Meeting.  76 Coloplast staff (Australia and New Zealand) attended in Fiji. 

Jade is truly amazing.  I found Jade very professional, and she is so friendly and easy to work with.  Jade takes pride in her work, and it shone throughout the work preparations and at the National Meeting. 

There were some last-minute hiccups during last week, which was out of our control.  Jade took it in her stride and solved these issues in a professional and calming manner. 

I could not have asked for a better person to work with last week.  Last week I liaised with Jade as she did all the schedule planning. The National Sales Meeting was a huge success.

Just wanted to drop you a note to say how delighted I am to have Jade on board with us this week – she has been amazing and keeping everything running really smoothly and has the hotel working hard for us.


She is a super star and you should be really proud of how she is representing Keito.

I attended Juvare's User Conference in Brisbane last week, and I wanted to take a moment to share some feedback about your amazing team. Jade and Sophie were exceptional in every aspect - whether it was planning, communication, their positive attitude, or their attention to even the smallest details. 

They had everything covered, making the entire experience both enjoyable and seamless. 

It was a pleasure to be there, and I wanted to express my appreciation for the outstanding work they are doing. Keep up the great work, and I hope to see the Keito team again soon!
