Pyjama day at Ettalong Club
A Give Me Five for Kids PJ Day was held on Monday, June 3, at Ettalong Beach Club, raising more than $600 for the children's ward at Gosford Hospital.
Ettalong Beach Club club members and guests were encouraged to wear their pyjamas to the club, as were club staff.
The club's staff were given a challenge to raise over $200 which saw the club's newly-appointed CEO Mr Bill Jackson wear his pyjamas for the day.
Even though he had a few appointments scheduled for the day, Mr Jackson attended the meetings in his pink polka dot pyjama pants and slippers.
To further encourage members and guests to wear their pyjamas, Ettalong Beach Club provided free entertainment with an arts and crafts table set up for children.
The children also participated in the disco and face painting as well as a movie showing on the large projector screen.
For a gold coin donation, a coffee station was available for parents while the children were being entertained.
"I'm proud to announce at the recent Board of Directors meeting held June 13, the Board resolved to donate a further $5000," said Mr Jackson.
