24.01.2022 Adding to the container is so rewarding as we take a snapshot of progress so far. If it wasnt for our sponsors, donations, and fellow rotarians giving up there time to assist, it just wouldnt be possible. Thanks to MOE OPD Mackay and Whitsundays for supplying stationery supplies.

23.01.2022 Another successful working bee. The Solomon Islands project is on hold in Australia at present, but it doesnt stop the dedication given toward making this project a success. A special mention goes out to Peter Johnson for his motivation toward keeping this project alive. Pete, sincerely appreciates the time and effort fellow rotarians give up to assist him. Check out all these good looking roosters below in the photo. Thanks gents, keep up the great work.

23.01.2022 Tonight at Rotary we enjoyed the company of Linsi & Jodi Satini. They spoke about the rare illness that their beautiful 3 year old daughter has and their journey. ZC4H2 Deficiency is now the new normal for their daughter with no known cure. The bravery and tenacity displayed tonight by Jodi & Linsi was inspiring. Looking around the room tonight there were some rough tough men’s eyes welling up, listening to your story. ... Thank you Linsi & Jodi for sharing, still with a smiling face of gratefulness. Our club wishes you all the best for the future.

23.01.2022 FINALLY, all packed ready for the Solomons. Thanks to all my helpers, I really appreciate it. Still not 100% on our departure date, but fingers crossed we can secure a date soon. There are certainly going to be some happy, happy people when these doors open up in the Solomon Islands. Yours in rotary Peter Johnson

20.01.2022 Last night at Rotary, our club was treated with a Vocational Visit to Mackay Fire & Rescue Station & Mackay Auto tech. The QFRS are equipped with state of the art units with more lifesaving equipment that you could imagine. Technology these days certainly wowed the club members. Rest assured the Mackay Region has some of the best equipment on hand equal or better to metropolitan areas. As we know it’s not just fires these days, they have equipment available for emergencies we haven’t even considered. Thumbs up to QFRS. Then to top it off Our club member and owner of Mackay Auto tech, Steve Caruana treated the members with a visit to the business, a bbq & beverages and a little show bag to take away. Random Act of Kindness. Great organization shout out to John Chick. Well done

15.01.2022 THE FILM CLIP IS READY FOR OUR ANZAC DAY SONG! We all felt a bit of a gut wrench when we realised that ANZAC Day wasnt going to be quite the same this year. B...ut then the Driveway at Dawn movement came along and gave us all the rallying point we needed. Adversity just means people find a new way to be together. Over 50 people have helped to make this song and this film clip a reality in very short time. They will be thanked in due course below, but of course, all our thanks, as always, must first go to those who have served. We hope this message of being together again does them the honour they so richly deserve. #ANZACDay #ANZACSpirit #lightupthedawn #StandAtDawn #TogetherAgainANZACsong See more
