Surf Show and Shine 2021 is ON!! 

Surf Show and Shine 2021 Saturday 2nd October Kombi Konvoy Sunday 3rd October Surf Show and Shine Show - Different plan for different times

The club has decided (Covid permitting) to put on the Surf Show and Shine in the school holidays albeit a different version at the Alex SLSC car park and surrounding grounds. 
 
 
 
 
This will be the 6th show the club has put on and in that time had a load of fun, and brought some smiles to the community and our amazing beneficieries who do so much for the Sunshine folks who are "doing it tough" all year round. So we'll be getting busy with the the help of Deano from Cricks Volkswagen and our supporters with permitting, registrations, stakeholders, Kombi's, musicians, and trying to turn this years version into a show to remember albeit in a much smaller location. Big thanks to those who have helped out with the raffle prizes, musicians, artists, and event and traffic organising. East Coast Traffic have been amazing..BIG shout out to Ian aka "Smurf" apparently. 
 
A special thank you to local well known artist Owen Cavanagh who has given up a chunk of his busy schedule to help put together the arts displays on Sunday morning and also to Kevin Annetts who has stepped in with the Malibu Board riders to see if they can take up a few gazebo's while the NSBR are up north. 
 
This is what the site plan mud map looks like..
 
 
A certain scribe has been in touch with the Kombi's and vendors and feedback has been amazing. Everyone looking forward to having a great time at the beach car park at Alex and doing a bit of community fundraising. 
 
And not forgetting the amazing Saturday night Kombi parade up and down the Sunshine Coast. We're aiming for 100 Kombi's in convoy (who-hoo), chaperoned by our mates from Cricks Volkswagen and guaranteed to bring a smile to the faces of everyone en route. Don't forget your camera's!
 
Toastmasters and Rotary
2 minute impromptu speeches
 
Mark Twain once said. "If you want me to speak for 2 hours give me 5 mins notice, but if you want me to speak for 5 minutes, give me a weeks notice". Well Sue, Craig, Steve, Carmel, Michelle and Charmaine got 5 seconds notice to speak for 2 minutes, and didn't they do well. Under the chairmanship of Toastmasters Past International President Mike, and eVALuator Val...seriously (?) but they all had a go which is the main thing. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
So take Mike's advice and check out the local toastmasters clubs, and you never know....
Chloe Silva - Alex SLSC Surf Woman of Year 

Club donates $1,000 to Chloe Silva - Alex SLSC Surf Woman of Year

The club was very pleased to invite Chloe to com eto the Rotary meeting and talk to the club about her Surf Woman of the Year program. We were pleased to donate $1,000 towards the program, and hear from Chloe on her many Surf and Community activities. It is always great know that there are amazing young citizens on the Sunshine Coast and Chloe is surely a community leader of the future. 
Several at the meeting were impressed with Chloe's surfing, educational studies and community work - and all with an amazing can do attitude and sunny personality.

Club awarded best small charity or group award
 
Last night Val, Michelle, Joy and myself attended the Sunshine Coast Community Awards.
We were very excited and somewhat surprised to win the Best Small Charity or Group Award, so congratulations everyone this is down to you.

SUNSHINE COAST COMMUNITY AWARDS are aimed to recognise, encourage, acknowledge, and pay tribute to individuals, organisations, volunteers, charities, businesses, and groups who are making significant contributions to our Sunshine Coast Community. Building a bigger sense of community and achievement in our region with networking, rewarding and events will be an amazing achievement.

The inaugural event was held on August 21st at The Shed in the Banana Bender in   Aussie World. The event organiser was Danielle Trask who has formed her own charity “Katwalk for Kids”. This is an annual children’s event on the Sunshine Coast to raise funds for children with Autism and other disabilities.

MC’s for he night were Todd and Sami from 92.7 Mix FM, guests included Mark Forbes, Rick Baberowski (Deputy Mayor), Jarrod Bleijie  and Lisa Kerry Curry.

The evening began with a troupe of dancers from the Sunshine Coast entertaining us.   A three course meal was served and an impersonator took on various personas including Elvis, Tom Jones and Austin Powell throughout the evening.

The Rotary club of Alexandra Headland received the award for the “Best small charity or group of the year 2021” and was accepted by President Wendy accompanied on stage by Michelle, Joy and Val.

A presentation box with fine wine and chocolates accompanied our trophy.

A short video on Casey’s Garden was shown which featured members of our club in action with The Board Room. Mark Skinner won an award for Volunteer of the year and Lifetime  Volunteer so it was nicely connected to our club.
