Ever wondered whats going on at THRIVE?

 
Well, here's a recent newsletter from our mate Noel on what the great team have been up to....
 
"Hi All, just a update on what has been happening at Thrive,
 
A lot of work has been going on behind the scenes with the Music Department. Liam, with the support of his Mum Serena, have been going to open mic nights and talking about Thrive and handing out flyers, as well as running an advertising campaign on social media. They are generating quite a bit of interest and their biweekly sessions on Sunday arvo's are starting to grow. Check out their Facebook page to see what happens https://www.facebook.com/Thrive-Sunshine-Coast-Recording-Studio-349920832842718
 
If any of us know anyone, under 25, who would be interested in doing a bit of teaching, I’m sure Alex and Liam would appreciate the help. Sounds like you've been putting in a lot of time there Liam, Good on you Mate.  
 
Obi has the Paddling programme happening again. We have only had one paddling day since term has gone back because of lockdowns. The new group for this school term has been very successful with all the kids participating even though it was just a little bit cold out on the river. This programme has been running for a long time now and it is amazing to see the volunteers still turning up, Todd Grace, Nicky Chapman, Rod Jenman and Peter Aiken, Thank you.  
 
Tony Kimmens who runs the coffee shop at Maroochydore surf club agreed to give all our volunteers a free coffee at the end of the sessions, Thanks heaps Tony, much appreciated.  
 
The kids from the group last term were good enough to give us a Thankyou card. It was quite good (and amusing) to see some of their thoughts, so I have attached a pic of the card to share with you all. 
 
Presently there are a few groups expressing interest in setting up things at Thrive, we are looking at these to determine whether they are a benefit to the community. More information will be provided if any of them go ahead.  
 
 Thank you for your time and hang in there, 
Cheers Noel. "
 
and here's a nice card of thanks from some amazing people..
