An update on this story..
 
Since we finished the club storage we've been able to help out a few people with the BBQ trailer and related items:
 
  • Mooloolaba Rotary with the BBQ trailer with their support "Walk for Dementia" 
  • Sunshine Coast Central with utensils etc for their first Bunnings BBQ
  • LifeFlight with the loan of BBQ for their Aviation Day 
 
So the central nature of this storage, is paying off in our ability to help out the community. Fantastic. 
 
For many years the club has been indebted to the generosity of Chris Baker, Bob Thompson, Denys Alt and others for storing club gear while the club had no storage facilities of its own. 
 
At the start of this year, the club was successful in obtaining a grant from the Federal "Community Assistance" program for the purchase of club storage. Since then Bob Thompson has been busy designing, purchasing, fabricating and constructing a shipping container for the club needs. 
 
Part of the grant requirement was that Rotary provide a dollar-for-dollar towards the project. So a big thank you to the other volunteers who gave of their time and tools etc., Denys Alt, Bill Bradley, Tony Freeman, Errol Richardson and President John.  So now the club has a place to store the Trailer and our club assets thanks.
 
Of course a big thank you to Alex SLSC for allowing your club to use the and in Mari St. compound for quite a reasonable rent (i.e. Zero)
