Thank you Clermont contributed by Alison Ray
A big thank you to the Clermont people who supported us at our recent Ball. It was such huge success. A wonderful night was had by all and we thank you all for coming along and having a great time. It was fantastic that everyone came in cosutme which helped to create such a wonderful atmosphere. The hall which was themed for the evening, was great. Without everyone’s fantastic support our Charity would not be able to support our 50 students in receiving an education. Once again, thank you for your wonderful support.

Register your mate and save Renewal notices to take advantage of Council’s early bird discount on dog registration will hit letterboxes from September 12. Dog owners are encouraged to renew registrations during September 12 – October 14 to receive a generous 50% fee reduction. Isaac Regional Council Mayor Anne Baker said roaming and unregistered dogs are a region-wide concern. “Dog owners will be held accountable if their dogs are found wandering and unregistered,” she said. “Not only is this a danger to public safety, but it makes it difficult to return animals safely to their owners without registered details. “If you own a dog please be responsible and make sure it’s registered, micro-chipped, properly fenced and cared for.”
Residents can visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au/dogregistration or their local Council office to fill out the registration form and make payment. Council advises if unregistered dogs are impounded, their owners will pay an impoundment fee and registration fee before their dog is released home. If you find someone else’s pet roaming the streets, phone 1300 ISAACS (47 22 27) and notify the local laws officer of its description and location.
Unregistered dogs and first-time registrations will not receive a renewal notice and do not qualify for a discount.

OUR HEARTFELT THANKS TO CLERMONT We wish to thank Clermont for the wonderful 7 years we have been lessees of the Clermont Swimming Pool. There are many people we met who gave us many memories we will value and cherish. Thanks for the friendships formed, we shall endeavour to continue these. We are privileged to have experienced those beautiful little people we were given the opportunity to teach water familiarity. Thanks to the parents who realise you have to push their boundaries, and let us do so. Thank you to those parents, also the schools, and residents who supported us during those years. To our Clermont families, you know who you are, we love you and thank you for the times and meals we have shared, and above all for being there. To those parents who are keen to start Clermont Dolphins again, we wish you success in doing so. It is parents such as you that enable the children in any community the opportunities to participate in sport. We wish Matty Martin as the new lessee every success. Last but not least thank you to the Isaac Regional Council for giving us the opportunity to be guardians of this wonderful facility for the past 7 years. Gabriel and Donna Davie
