EO Melbourne Chapter News

December 2024

Hi ,


Can you believe we’re already wrapping up 2024? Before the year ends, here are a few updates to keep you in the loop.


First, today—Friday 6 December—is your last chance to register for the NEXUS Chapter Retreat in Phuket. If you’ve been undecided, now’s the time to secure your spot for what promises to be an unforgettable retreat in March 2025.


For tennis fans, our Australian Open Superbox experience on Saturday night has sold out, but five (5) more tickets are still available for Sunday night, 18 January 2025. These tickets are heavily discounted at $600 + GST (retail value $1,200 + GST) and now available to EO guests at the same price. If courtside action is your thing, don’t wait too long to grab one.


I also want to take a moment to congratulate John Bevitt, who has been elected as the incoming EO Melbourne President starting July 2025. A big congratulations as well to the entire incoming board—what an exciting year ahead.


Thank you for making 2024 such a fantastic year for EO Melbourne. I’m truly excited about what’s to come in 2025. 


As always, feel free to reach out via email, call, or WhatsApp if you’d like to chat.






Cheers,

Costa Vasili

President (FY 2024/2025)
