May Birthday
C E L E B R A N T S
The month of May included the birthdays of RAWRSS’ Director, Dave and Quality Assurance Manager, Annette!
Huge shoutout to Toowoomba Support Coordinator, Brooke for organising Dave’s RAWRsome gift and surprise birthday lunch - it was actually the main reason why nearly all the office staff came together on the day of our Biggest Morning Tea! RAWR is so fortunate to have a wonderful boss like Dave to lead the pack, so his gift was just a small return of our gratitude. Overall, it was a great success, and we hope he had a fantastic birthday ��
Additionally, the Warwick office staff like to organise a small morning tea for everyone ’ s birthday, but poor Annette, she was the first victim of our communal birthday crown... so to all the Warwick office staff, you ’ re not safe if your birthday is coming up! We also hope Annette has a wonderful day ��

BBOWLING OWLING
Our monthly bowling competition is starting to heat up as everyone seems to improve with each game! Plus, SW Leanne went to get this amazing trophy, made by Billy and SW Wayne, labelled, ready for the champion’s name to be engraved. It’s been a great motivator for our participants, and hopefully encourages more to join us!
