Summary
An invitation from the Kodak Employees Social Club to attend a dance and social evening in aid of the Food for Britain Appeal, held at Winn's Ballroom, Sydney, circa 1940s. This fundraising event most likely took place during or just after WWII when food was in short supply, particularly in directly affected countries like Britain.
