25.01.2022 Today’s session of our Cancer Support Program was graced by two gentlemen from the Fraser Coast Bonsai Group, Taffy Haine and Rod Whiting. The ‘Bonsai Demonstration’ and educational presentation provided basic details on how to get started. To get involved and for more details, the group meets every first Sunday of the month at the Cricket Club in Maryborough. It was great to see regular participants and we welcome new attendees today, once again for this session our delicious morning tea was kindly donated by the Lioness Club of Maryborough.
