Trip through time with AMASA

It's time to book those tickets for the Advertising Media Association of SA (AMASA) industry bash in October 2009. Based on year-on-year success, this year's 'Music through the ages' party will be yet another reason to dress up and party down memory lane.
Trip through time with AMASA

Taking place on Thursday 29 October at 7.30 pm at Pococks Beach Volleyball Arena, Northlands Deco Park just off Witkoppen Road and Malibongwe Drive, Johannesburg, tickets are R185 for members and R235 for non-members.

And it's not all about partying; funds raised are given to the AMASA Learnership Programme, an industry initiative aimed at curbing the talent shortage, and guests are also asked to bring children's toys for the Little Switzerland Children's Home in time for Christmas.

Tickets include entry, dinner and two drinks and are limited, so email Jodie now on or call the party line on cell +27 (0)82 768 6009.
