The lowdown
Catherine DeVrye is an acclaimed author, speaker and business woman. Catherine has visited more than 150 countries and kept a daily journal for over fifty years, never imagining some words would be translated into over a dozen languages. She started life in a Canadian orphanage, and following the death of her parents the year after she graduated in the USA, arrived in Australia with a backpack, $200 and one-way ticket. After a global career with IBM, she's delivered presentations in over thirty countries and been named Australian Executive Woman of the Year and Keynote Speaker of the Year. A cancer survivor, Rotary supporter, Catherine has carried the Olympic torch, volunteered with street kids in Vietnam, swum with sharks in Madagascar, cycled the Andes, trekked beyond Everest Base Camp - and voyaged to Timbuktu. Net proceeds from her book sales will go to Médecins Sans Frontières (Doctors Without Borders) is an independent international medical humanitarian organisation that delivers emergency aid to people affected by armed conflict, epidemics, healthcare exclusion and natural or man-made disasters. Food will be available at Lusso Kitchen, Northbridge Golf Club (5:00pm-8:30pm) - book a table at: https://www.lussokitchen.com.au/northbridge
