18.01.2022 Beefbank, one of our three beneficiaries of the Rotary Virtual Fun Run would love your assistance. If you are a grazier or a farmer or know someone who is; and they have the ability to donate a beast then we would love to personally chat with them. One beast can provide up to 1,000 sausages, 800 mince serves or 600 diced beef meals for distribution. Without a doubt that is a LOT of meals and a lot of less fortunate people being looked after.

18.01.2022 One of BeefBanks slogans shall we say is "Giving back is as simple as one dollar, one day, one moment. You can change the tomorrow of someone less fortunate." And even if you cant support them financially then Im sure theyd love your help with a new LIKE to their page. Its the little things. https://www.beefbank.org/

18.01.2022 One thing to look at when buying a new home is the plumbing. Small things like leaks, slow drains, and low water pressure, can all hint to underlying problems - but most of the time these are easily repaired.

05.01.2022 BeefBank supports the homeless and disadvantaged by providing fresh meat to Foodbank Queensland. Foodbank then supply the many community and welfare organisations that are at the forefront of tackling these social issues. A large portion of the recipients of Foodbank support are breakfast programs at schools. These programs are becoming a vital service as one in 30 a child in almost every classroom goes to bed or school hungry nearly every day. And that, is just heartbreaking.

01.01.2022 Training Tip - Its important to squeeze in strength training workouts while preparing for a race. Ideally, try to incorporate 30 minutes or more of core work (including abs, back, glutes and shoulders) and a yoga session into your routine at least twice each week (on easy or cross-training days). If youre short on time, your best bet is to squeeze in a few planks (and their variations) whenever possible. Be sure to register via our website - http://rotaryfunrun.com.au
