Annual Tesla Day Dinner 2009 At 7:00pm on SATURDAY 11th OF JULY 2009 PARMELIA HILTON HOTEL, PERTH

The traditional Tesla Day Dinner will be organized for the 6 th consecutive year as part of the Tesla Day celebrations in Western Australia. We will have an evening full of good spirit and great music.

It is our great pleasure to have wonderful and most entertaining guests this year, including Dr Brian O’Brien , physicist, a former NASA Principle Investigator with the Apollo space program, who will speak on the theme “From Antarctic Auroras to Dust on the Moon”.

The Tesla dinner has become a place where, apart from talking about the science and inventions, you have a unique opportunity to meet a lot of interesting people and enjoy good music and dance.

This year we are planning a special fund raiser to purchase a TESLA’s COLUMBUS EGG, which will be donated to Scitech. This creative fund raising activity involves balloons and should be lots of fun.
