This mornings Club breakfast meeting, well attended by members and many guests, a very impressive Guest Speaker, Johilene Cooper who spoke as CEO of the Kokoda Youth Foundation, on their activities and achievements with local youth programs. In addition we welcomed another new member to our Club, Blake Lashmar!
Our Club came to the rescue of Bunnings Burleigh Waters when they had another organisation cancel. So from a call to help at 9.00am, our Service Projects Director Richard Diaz and President Michael Shambrook managed to organise enough troops and food to set up a sausage sizzle by 10.00am! And what a great result, we managed to raise an unexpected $1987 plus a bonus of a $250 Bunnings Gift Card for coming to the rescue!
Bunnings BBQs are getting harder to get, as they are in great demand from many local community groups. However they are still a great source of reliable fundraising income for our Club. At this one we managed to make $2276 profit which will be used for our local and international service projects.
Our latest Youth Services project was a great success the first day out. We received a District Grant to match our funds to provide fishing rods and equipment to local youth to provide mentoring and guidance from our Club members, not just fishing lessons but life lessons!
