Men’s Shed for Mooloolah
By Sonia Clark The Mooloolah Men’s Shed project is getting closer to fruition following a community meeting earlier this month and the formation of a steering committee. After years of discussion and growing interest, Mooloolah may finally be well on the way to getting the go ahead for making the Mooloolah Men’s Shed a reality. Following an impressive turnout of around 40 people at the Mooloolah Hall on Saturday August 4, and an agreement from Education Queensland to accept proposals for the use of land behind the Mooloolah Community Centre, a Men’s Shed Steering Committee has now been established. Bernie Verwayen from the Mooloolah Valley Community Association, a strong advocate for the initiative over the last four years, is very pleased that the idea is finally gaining traction. “Myself and others here in Mooloolah have been passionate about getting this project up and running for a number of years. It feels bloody terrific that we’re at this point now, and I’m ready to hand this over to the steering committee,” said Bernie. The proposed site for the shed will be the area previously allocated to the community garden, which has had space provided at the front of the centre. Community grant applications are in process to fund the Men’s Shed building, and quotes for works are currently being sought. To find out more or to get involved contact Chris Lloyd on 0459 690 001, Bernie Verwayen on 0410 549 475 or leave a message at the Mooloolah Community Centre on 5494 7822.
Quilting Show and Tell Open Day
The Mooloolah Valley Quilting and Craft Group is inviting members of the community to come along to the Mooloolah Hall for their ‘Show and Tell Open Day’ on Wednesday September 5 from 9.30am. The group first started meeting almost 40 years ago, back in 1980, and members have continued to meet each Wednesday morning at the hall where new and old designs and tips are passed on, or where they work on their own projects, or sometimes just chat over a cuppa. Over years many faces have changed and many firm friendships have been forged. Besides a lot of chatting and laughter, the group’s dedicated members have sewn, knitted and crocheted hundreds of items that have been donated to, or raffled for, various charities. The groups they have supported have included OzCare Nursing Home, Diamond Valley Lodge, Sippy Creek Animal Shelter, The Twinnies Pelican and Seabird Rescue, Outback Outreach, and the Mooloolah Fire Brigade, along with purchasing sewing machines for poor women in India. These and other projects have given the group an outward focus and they are always open to new projects to support. At present the group has a raffle that will to be drawn at the open day and they hope to be able to donate $1,000 to buy bales of hay to help struggling farmers. Some of the highlights of each year are the bus trips to craft fairs and craft shops, as well as their quarterly lunches and their Christmas breakups. New members are always welcome and they would love to see some new faces at their open day where there will be a quilt show, lucky door prizes and much more. Admission on the day is $7 and includes morning tea and lunch. All enquiries to Heather on 5494 7710 or Hazel on 5439 6014.
