Our Timor Container Arrives
Posted on Feb 01, 2025
It is very exciting for us to see the photos of the unloading of the shipping container that out Club packed and sent to Timor Leste recently. All of this educational, community and medical equipment will be of great use in this impoverished  country. In addition, in this container we also shipped some excellent catering equipment that will be used for a new catering school to assist ladies suffering from DV stress. What an excellent project. 
 
 
Duck Race Wrap Up

Thank you to everyone who sponsored a duck in our Charity and Community Duck Races! 🦆🎉 2024 has been a challenging year for many, yet once again our community dug deep and came together to support two amazing local domestic violence agencies: Hearts of Purple and McLeod Refuge, as well as our local schools and Rotary youth projects. Collectively, we raised over $25,000! 💰👏

A huge shout out to all of our major sponsors: Gold Coast City Council, PRD Real Estate, Currumbin RSL, Deep Water Bank AirBnB, and Karyn O'Dea "Deals in Heels". Without your support, we couldn't have staged this fantastic event. 🙌 We would also like to thank the P&Cs of Burleigh Heads State, Palm Beach Currumbin, Robina State, Varsity College, St Andrews, and Miami High for their tireless efforts. 🏫❤️

The change in venue to the RSL Reserve Currumbin was a huge success, and we are already looking forward to hosting another amazing race in 2025. Stay tuned for more fun and excitement! 🎊🏁
