Since January our Club has been very busy.

Many things to enjoy on Camp Quality Fun Day

On February 23rd we hosted a Fun Day Out for Camp Quality Kids.  Camp Quality provides assistance and encouragement to kids who are suffering from cancer as well as support for their parents and carers.  On the day we arranged for the kids to have rides on Jet Skis and on the Water Police Patrol Boat.  Other fun and games were arranged by the Camp Quality organisers before we treated the whole crowd of about 80 to a free barbecue lunch and drinks. Some photos of the day are attached.

March found us very active planning for our first Fun, Games & Trivia night.  We asked various organisations to form tables of 8 if possible and promised them that their entry fee plus any profits from the night would be donated to a charity or voluntary group of their choice.  Entry was set at $10 per person.  On the night, games, puzzles and of course quiz questions kept everybody well amused and most tables received a prize of some kind.  After the event, we were able to donate to the following voluntary groups at the rate of $15 per person nominating them:-

1. Wild Life Rehabilitation Centre Eumundi
2. Cittamani Hospice
3. Cooroy Branch of Noosa SES
4. Noosa Care Kabara
5. Noosa RSPCA
6. Sunshine Coast Prostate Cancer Support Group
7. Australian Koala Foundation
8. Cooroy Branch of Qld CWA
9. Noosa Girl Guides
10. Breast Cancer Network, Sunshine Coast
11. Royal Flying Doctor Service
12. Cooroy Tennis Club

The amounts for each varied from $80 to $240 depending on the nominations.

In April we supported the Eumundi Branch of the RSL by providing a breakfast at the now annual Memorial Service on Anzac Day.  About 200 people lined up for eggs, bacon, sausages and toast along with a variety of drinks.  The traditional helping of Rum & Milk plus Anzac Biscuits was donated by Eumundi traders to supplement our efforts.

We have been proud supporters of the new Cooroy Blue Light Disco held monthly in the Cooroy Memorial Hall on the second Saturday of each month, and our own monthly Sausage Sizzle is held outside IGA (previously on the second Saturday, but in future on the first Saturday of each month) from 9.30am to 1.30pm.

On May 15th we celebrated our 15th anniversary with a dinner for Club Members and guests.  We were delighted to welcome our Charter President, Evonne Doherty who travelled from Ayr in North Queensland to be with us on the night.  The District Governor of Rotary District 9600 on the occasion of our charter also made the trip from Brisbane for the night.  Also present were seven of our 14 Past Presidents.

Our club meets weekly at the CWA Hall in Cooroy on Mondays at 6 – 6.30pm and afterwards for dinner at the Cooroy RSL.
