Celebrating our Aussie spirit
Local’s generosity knows no bounds
Young masterchefs support flood appeal
When it comes to supporting a good cause, it seems our local community are willing to go to just about any length to contribute. Earlier this month, normal blood donation services were affected and did not operate from Monday to Wednesday, however when they resumed at Beerwah Marketplace on the Thursday, opening two hours earlier than normal, collection staff were run off their feet. “During this time (from 11.30am - 6.30pm), we had the most tremendous response from local generously given by Glasshouse residents has the residents coming in and as a result we didn’t stop power to save nearly 300 lives! for all of those 10 hours. By the end, we even “So, from the Australian Red Cross Blood Service had to start turning people away,” said Australian we would like to thank all of the local residents Red Cross Service’s Daniel Rowling. who took the time to come and see us and “On the day we collected nearly 100 bags of donate blood. The gift that each and every person blood and plasma, which is one of the best days gave will mean the world to someone and their we’ve ever had. The collections from that day families,” he said.
Eden pitches in
Trevor Taylor of the Rotary Club of Glass House Mountains, with Norma Malcolm and Connie Cameron
As soon as the flood disaster struck Queensland, one of Eden’s residents, Norma Malcolm, approached lifestyle staff to ask if a collection could be taken up to assist those in need. Containers were set up and placed in Eden’s reception area and in communities. Connie Cameron from the Coochin community then took up the challenge to make sure everyone was aware of the collection and encouraged staff and other residents to give generously. Norma and Connie were both on hand to give a donation of $257.25 directly to Rotary Club representative Trevor Taylor, who was happy to confirm that 100 per cent of the money would
go directly to communities in need. When thanked by staff, Norma said she wouldn’t have been able to sleep knowing something wasn’t being done.
There’s little doubt that the impacts of the state’s worst ever flooding crisis have touched us all in some way.
Viv, Libby and Ingrid Three young Landsborough girls have taken matters into their own hands, and spent the last weeks of their school holidays cooking up a storm and selling their wares to raise funds for the Queensland Flood Relief Appeal. Eight-yearold Vivienne Fitzpatrick, Ingrid Fitzpatrick, 11 years, and Libby Chester, also 11 years, cooked up muffins, biscuits, quiches and fudge, with their tasty efforts managing to raise more than $300.00 in the Landsborough area. The girls did all the cooking themselves, and sold their baked goodies in the Landsborough Pharmacy and around the main shopping area.
