SATURDAY October 9 witnessed yet another stylishly funky fund raising event at Laguna Phuket's new Latitude venue in support of the Phuket Animal Welfare Society.
The theme of the evening was taken from Disney's Beauty and the Beast - and with a plethora of Beautiful Women and Beastly Men on display, the theme was clearly taken to heart by the masses.
It all started with an incredible Indigo Pearl hosted cocktail reception followed by a fabulous Banyan Tree buffet, which was swiftly devoured to make way for the dancing.
The top auction prize included a first class trip to London generously donated by Qatar Airways, now flying direct to Phuket from Doha via Kuala Lumpur.
Paws Operations Director said: ''It was a terrific evening and we are extremely grateful for the generosity, yet again of the people of Phuket for supporting us in such a positive way.''
The folks at Paws really know how to throw a party, but the purpose of the event was to raise much needed to funds to allow Paws to expand and develop its field clinic operations around Phuket in 2011.
As the 200 guests partied the night away, enough money was raised to ensure that these plans go ahead. ''It's fantastic to know that we can run these field clinics next year and do so much for the stray animals here in Phuket.
''We're providing a community service and it's great that people recognise that,'' said the event organiser, Russell D. Russell.

Can't see what the occupations of the people has to do with it, David. Are you really as snobbish as that makes you sound? I hope not. You've been moderated because if what you claimed isn't true, we could be sued.
