Club meeting hacked by Royal minders, Moving Moments, making a difference (Aug 09, 2021)

Moving Moments talks to club

Lutheran Services Moving Moments program brings joy to Seniors and Toddlers

Renee Schumacher spoke to the club via zoom on Friday and we were all impressed by the great work that Renee and her team at Lutheran services are doing in the community. We were particularly interested in the "Moving Moments" program which follows on from the ABC Old People's home series where old folks home engage with a local kindergarten and the amazing effect it has on the old folks, and in many case forming lasting relationships with child in the kindergarten and the childs family and the old folks home home resident.

Some brilliant stories from Renee of Seniors and toddlers mixing and we thank her and her team for "making a difference" to the seniors (and the toddlers).

Conspiracy Corner

Were Royal minders listening in on the club ZOOM meeting?

Some among us believe that the world is dominated by a small number of powerful people who send secret coded messages to each other through the media. Alternative facts as they say..but our very own Dave Woodrow now seems to have become embroiled in this web of all seeing power brokers, who allegedly include the British royal family.

It all started when Dave rescued a delightful portrait of the monarch from the Maroochydore Rotary leftovers that was heading to the dump. (see above).

Dave mentioned this heroic act at the club Zoom meeting and we were all suitably impressed at Dave's chivalry. (Steve was not quite so impressed by where Dave's hands were while "holding" the monarch but thats another story)...

Anyway the BIG story is that Dave was not to know that Royal minders from the world domination cartel were listening in on the Dave's adventures at the refuse tip.

Well, anyway next thing you know...

Prince Charles is on Facebook with a Rotary logo on his lapel. Was this a covert signal to our Dave?

Coincidence?- I think not.

This appears to be Charlie reaching out to Dave in their secret cartel code to say a big thankyou for rescuing the portrait of mummy.....

..but wait ... ...this "just happened" to be on Dave's birthday!.....another "coincidence?" ..I think not.

You read the signs... and make your own conclusions.....Just saying.

But be careful on Zoom fellow conspirators ..."They" are always watching..... like the eye of Sauron.... The truth is out there.

Fresh Start and Beyond Expectations

Brilliant IFYS programs your club is happy to support

Letter of Support

"This letter of support is for IFYS Ltd in their “Beyond Expectations & Fresh Start programs application for funding, to improve the education, skills, employment opportunities and social inclusion of disadvantaged Queenslanders.

IFYS understands the pathway to gaining employment can be difficult, especially for young people, and having someone to support you can make all the difference.

The ‘Beyond Expectations’ and “Fresh Start” programs support young people become job ready, gain an industry recognised qualification, obtain work experience and to ultimately find employment. We think

We agree there is a need for enthusiastic and motivated young people who have been supported to become job ready and who have gained an entry-level qualification.

We are supportive of IFYS delivering the Beyond Expectations and Fresh Start programs from Gympie to South Brisbane, as there is an identified need for entry-level employees in this area.

Rotary Clubs have many employers, past and present, who could support the Beyond Expectations and Fresh Start programs by:

Providing an insight to industry through an industry talk or tour of this business.
Offering a young person insights to early work practices.
Participating in a mock interview panel, to help coach young people to be interview ready.

IFYS was established in 1980 and has a proven record of accomplishment in delivering family and youth programs on the Sunshine Coast and throughout Queensland.

We are very supportive of IFYS delivering more of these programs locally and see the industry benefits in the qualifications, skills and experiences students participating in these programs gain.

Best regards

Wendy Gilson

Surf Show and Shine anyone?

Early Planning for Surf Show and Shine

Its seems rather bizarre for a certain scribe to be writing this in lockdown, but the club is planning our 7th Surf Show and Shine event. Its early days and we're looking for Kombi stakeholders and gold sponsors as thsi is our big fundraiser for the year.

Some preliminary discussions have taken place, and the club has date claimed Sunday 3rd October for the big show. Our mates at Cricks Volkswagen are on board, and we'll be reaching out to the Surf Board and Arts and Music and Vendor communities as we put together our plans for another fantastic community event.

Mike and Steve have taken on board the communications with school, and other venues are being canvassed. There's only a couple of months before the big day, so that has some plusses and minuses, but with everyone's help we'll give it our best shot.

The other task where the club would really appreciate some help, is with Kombi "Supremo" to be the point of contact for drumming up support within the Kombi community, as well as potential Surf Wear and Surfboard related gold sponsors.

If you have any leads in this area please contact the club secretary on RCAHsecretary@gmail.com

We're all set for a morning of whale watching on Sunday 12th September. The whales have been booked, so be there or be square. The club secretary has all the details. RCAHsecretary@gmail.com

Vision for Salty Souls home

Salty Souls Legacy - Could this be new HQ?

Great work by our designer in residence Steve who has out together this artists impression, and made a 3D model to get the ideas flowing for the new Salty Souls Legacy HQ.

The club are now on the look out for help (financial, materials labour) to help Tamara and Kerry move to the next level. Ask around, you never know.

Great work also by Liam Pinese from ADAPT planning engineers who is helping to guide the planning process for the new base on Aerodrome Road. Also pleased to say that Mal Pratt, Sunshine Coast leading philanthropist has given his OK for the SalTy Souls Legacy HQ to be placed on the THRIVE complex.

And our very own Scott Brimelow (Structures) has stepped up with a helping hand on the engineering. So let's find some more great citizens on the coast and make the dream a reality for this great cause.
