Welcome to the May edition of FOCUS! A big shoutout to all the fabulous mothers in the Coffs Coast Community. In May 2022, we celebrate eleven and a half years of publishing Coffs Coast FOCUS, making us one of the leading publications in the region. This month’s cover features local chef and business owner, Stefano Mazzina. Inside this edition we feature Bodie Greenwood and his extended family who have been part of the Coffs Coast community for some time, and together as a family they run Charlesworth Bay Beach Resort. Emma Sullings is a primary teacher who spent some time living and working in remote communities in the Northern Territory, where she was shocked to find how difficult it was for women there to access basic sanitary and self care items. The Naru Surf Gathering was started in the 1990’s by Eric Mercy, and was reborn in 2017 by his children Amber and James who wanted to honour his memory and mark 20 years since his passing.
