Lightning Ridge Chamber of Commerce are one of a number of organisations focused upon the promotion of Lightning Ridge.
What better way than to utilise the National Gemstone at the centre of their promotional initiative.
A magnificent opal necklace, designed by Alexander Iskendarian Jewellery will showcase our Outback Gem and Lightning Ridge on the nationally broadcast program, Wheel of Fortune.
Organisational wizard, Kavitha James, has run with an idea presented by Eddie Webb and endorsed by the Chamber of Commerce.
The Lightning Ridge Chamber of Commerce and Industry Inc have funded the purchase of opal used in Alexander Iskendarian’s design which he has kindly donated.
The success of this initiative may determine the Chamber’s support for future packages.
A holiday package is on the drawing board with pledges of accommodation made by Wallangulla Motel and the Lightning Ridge Hotel Motel with air flights by Hazelton and Airlink, car hire by Khans and a John Murray painting plus local tours and a variety of pledged donations.
“We expect that our promotion will go to air late July or August,” said Kavitha, who was quick to praise the generous donors.
