Coastlink staff member Debbie Swinford, who has been with the organisation for more than 30 years, said the Masquerade Ball would be a wonderful opportunity to come together and celebrate this impressive milestone. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cDuring my three decades with Coastlink, it\u2019s been very special to be able to see our amazing clients being supported to live happy, connected lives. Our entire team can\u2019t wait to celebrate with the community at our magical Masquerade Ball,\u201d Ms Swinford said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Her colleague Jacque Dalgarins said she was also proud to be a part of the celebrations. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cIn my time with Coastlink, I have seen the organisation grow so much, and I\u2019ve met some wonderful clients. The Ball will be a fabulous way to celebrate this milestone – a night full of great food, entertainment, people and laughter!\u201d Ms Dalgarins said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Long-time Coastlink clients Julie Spencer and Rhonda Thompson also expressed their excitement at the upcoming event. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cI have been coming to Coastlink for over 30 years, and I\u2019ve made many friends and been supported by some great staff. I\u2019ll be attending the Masquerade Ball with all my housemates and wearing the mask I created myself!\u201d Ms Spencer said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cCoastlink has helped me to retain my independence and feel included. My daughter has ordered me a mask, and I look forward to shopping for an outfit for the Masquerade Ball. It feels special to be part of something that has made such a difference in my life,\u201d Ms Thompson said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coastlink Chair, John Mouland, said the event would be an opportunity to reflect on Coastlink\u2019s journey since the organisation was first established in 1985. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOver the past four decades, Coastlink\u2019s services have expanded to include quality aged care, disability supports, accommodation services and more; but while our offerings may have evolved, I\u2019m proud to say our commitment to our clients has remained unchanged.<\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cOur Masquerade Ball is set to be an evening full of fabulous food, live entertainment and community connection, and I warmly invite you to join us,\u201d Mr Mouland said. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Coastlink CEO, Lynne Graham, said the Masquerade Ball would be a moment for the organisation to honour its staff members, clients, and the community it supports. <\/p>\n\n\n\n \u201cWhether you\u2019re a past or current client or staff member, a like minded local business, or a member of the wider community – we\u2019d love for you to invite your friends, colleagues and family members, and join in the celebrations,\u201d Ms Graham said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can learn more about Coastlink\u2019s wide range of quality aged care, disability supports and accommodation services at coastlink.org.au<\/a>, or by following the organisation on Facebook<\/a>, Instagram <\/a>or LinkedIn<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Coastlink\u2019s 40 Year Masquerade Ball – Event Details:<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n Date and Time: <\/strong>Saturday 8 November 2025, 6.30pm <\/p>\n\n\n\n Venue:<\/strong> Mingara Recreation Club – 12-14 Mingara Dr, Tumbi Umbi NSW 2261 <\/p>\n\n\n\n Tickets:<\/strong> $75 each, on sale now via coastlink.org.au<\/a>.
