The Zonta Club of Warwick will be holding a movie night on Thursday 23 June in support of their organisation.
Held at Warwick Twin Cinema, members and ticket holders will be treated to finger food and drinks while they watch the new Baz Luhrmann flick, Elvis.
Warwick Zonta Club member Therese Wallace said the group hosts a movie night each year to raise money for the club.
“Club members are selling eight tickets each and tickets can also be purchased at Olsen’s Hardware,” Therese said.
The film is set to explore the life and music of legendary singer Elvis Presley (played by Austin Butler) through his complicated relationship with his manager (played by Tom Hanks), and Warwick Twin Cinema owner Michael Kairouz said the venue hosts events like Zonta’s on a regular basis.
“It’s nice that we’re able to facilitate the community and charitable organisations,” Michael said.
However, he said that the club is responsible for choosing the film.
The Zonta Club of Warwick is part of Zonta International and according to the organisation’s purpose, it is dedicated to pursuing equality for women throughout the world, in all walks of life.
Proceeds from the night will contribute towards the club’s gender equality advocacy in the region and projects members undertake on a local and global level.
Tickets for the movie night are $25 each and are also available for purchase directly from Zonta members.
Arrivals are at 6.00pm for a 6.30pm start, and Warwick Twin Cinema is located at 81 Grafton Street.
