Women of Achievement

The Black and White Committee has been established for over sixty years now and is made up of a team of hard working ladies who organise several fund raising functions each year. 
Uniquely every single penny raised goes to aid Children’s Services Development Fund of Vision Australia. The Women of Achievement annual lunch was held this year at the Four Seasons Hotel near Circular Quay with over 440 guests who turned up to listen to this year's speakers : actress Marta Dusseldorp, SBS broadcaster Jenny Brockie and the president of the Human Rights Commission Professor Gillian Triggs pictured here in our snap.

 I Got You Babe
Pictured left is the Black and White Committee's publicist Angela Belle McSweeney. Angela is the mum of Juliet Love who is married to horticultural expert Charlie Albone who is often seen on Foxtel cable TV shows. 
Charlie picked up yet another award at this year's Chelsea Garden Show where he is becoming a fixture. It was at Charlie's garden exhibit attended by Juliet and her mother Angela and Prince William and the Duchess of Cambridge that the entire world got to hear that Kate's name for William is 'Babe' when the pair were admiring Charlie's peonies display. 
Isn't that fun !

Picture Post

Spotted at the Black & White Charity Committee's annual ball last weekend- Sydney party girl Sharon Sargeant and her paramour Frank Monte. International man of mystery Monte now spends most of his time in Los Angeles and Las Vegas, returning to Australia 4 times a year to visit friends and relatives.
This year's bash was held in a marquee in Centennial Park with a fun park theme and as our snaps show, Ms Sargeant got into the spirit of the occasion. Certainly the gent in our second pic seems to think so. Money raised goes to aid the Royal Blind Society.

Also pictured are LA based comedienne Jackie Loeb and Australia's Got Talent winner Jack Vidgen- all grown up- at a party at the Californian Australian Consulate in Los Angeles for a fundraiser for Netball America.
Loeb is a regular at the comedy clubs around LA and Vidgen has set up home there with his mum as he continues his quest to conquer US show biz.

It's Black & White for Frank and Sharon

 One couple at the recent Black & White Masquerade dinner at the NSW Art Gallery, easily recognised beneath their masks were girl about town Sharon Sergeant and her fiancee PI Frank Monte.



Frank wouldn't be drawn into revealing details about the $20M defamation writ he has issued against a well known tabloid journalist.
"all will be revealed in the Supreme Court next January" says Monte.  'Expect fireworks" he said enigmatically.
