Roger along with Drew, Michael, and Graeme organized a boot sale at Carrara Markets on Sunday 15 Jan. To get this going, Drew lent his 1944 ute along with Roger using the new triton, loaded up both utes on Sat with anything in site, and proceeded to the sale. I am told that they sold almost everything with what was left designated rubbish. The nett profit from this fantastic effort resulted in an amount of $794.85. Well done all.
Following the senseless murders of 2 QLD police officers in Wieambilla between Chinchilla and Tara on Dec 22, the executives of both the QLD branch and the Sub-branch both decided to donate $ 1,000.000 each to the QLD police legacy scheme which provides support to the families/children of the deceased police officers. The cheques were presented to the inspector of police at Nerang police station on 21 Dec 22. Both of these grants were ratified by the full committees of both branches at recent meetings.
Over The NY break, we did 3 BBQs, one for the QLD branch and 2 for the sub-branch one of these BBQs was on the 01jan 2023 at Robina, and the nett takings were about half of the normal weekend BBQ. Nevertheless, both Branches were thrilled to receive a good profit. Our thanks go to the volunteers from both Branches for their efforts on these days.
