At the last Board meeting it was resolved that the Club enter into a new 5 year lease for the Project Shed at Arundel.
Save for ticking off the last couple of compliance issues, the finish line is in sight and we are well positioned moving forward to continue with the wheelchairs and other projects undertaken at the Shed.
Thanks to all those involved over the last months who assisted in getting us to this point.
Shipping container costs are coming down and together with the recent fundraising efforts, it is expected that we will be able to ship a batch of wheelchairs to South Africa in the coming months.
Dianne Kozik is the General Manager of St Johns Crisis Centre in Surfers Paradise. She will give us an overall picture of the centre, its functions and challenges.

Be wary of strong drink. It can make you shoot at tax collectors. And miss.
“Friday, I think you have missed the most alarming symptom of all.”
“I have? Are you going to tell me? Or am I going to have to grope around in the dark for it”
“Mmm. This once I shall tell you. But go back and search for it. Examine it. Sick cultures show a complex of symptoms such as you have named… but a dying culture invariably exhibits personal rudeness. Bad manners. Lack of consideration for others in minor matters. A loss of politeness, of gentle manners, is more significant than is a riot.” Robert A Heinlein - Friday
