ATBC proudly announces that it will be holding its 19th Annual Iftar at the Waterfront on the Pier.
Australian Turkish Business Council (ATBC) had the great pleasure to host its 19th Annual Iftar, the longest running consecutive Iftar of any organisation in Australia. We thank our members, friends and VIP's who made the time to attend, making the evening such a special occasion at a great location at the Waterfront on the Pier.
We thank the many VIPs who provided their support by attending and those who spoke at our Iftar, Natalie Suleyman MP representing the Hon Daniel Andrews and Hon Ros Spence MP, Craig Ondarchie MP, Frank McGuire MP, Consul General of Turkey Mr Eser Torun, Vivienne Nguyen Chair of VMC, Mr Tin Chan of AHRC, Dr Hass Dellal and Oscar Yildiz JP. Thank you to Imam Nusrettin Ozturk for his beautiful recitation of the call to prayer to open the Iftar and Prof Nuh Arslantas who closed the evening with prayer in 3 different languages.
A big and special thank you goes to our Keynote Speaker Judy Small AM, a Judge of the Federal Circuit Court of Australia (retired) and an Award Winning Folk musician. We thank Judge Judy for taking time from her busy schedule to share her story with a group who needed such inspiration and connections. Her valuable insights about multiculturalism and her message on what it truly means to embrace differences was moving.
ATBC proudly introduced a new member, Sensible Care, the first approved provider of in-Home Care Services and Disability Support Services owned and operated by people of Turkish background. Mr Bora Akdeniz, Director of Sensible Care, talked about his newly founded Home Care and NDIS service to the guests.
