Our Youth Exchange Student, Berta is winding her way home to Spain via Thailand. She was meeting her parents there for a holiday before returning to commence the new school year. As with all our exchange students we hope that this will just be farewell until next time we meet. I know Berta had a wonderful experience and I thank her host families the Curtis, Buckley, Mulraney and Kelly families for welcoming Berta into their homes and making her feel part of their families. Without these wonderful families hosting our students we would be unable to offer such a rewarding and life changing experience to these young people.
I am pleased to advise that the music speaker our club donated to Nightlight is being well used and appreciated by participants in Nightlight activities. The music certainly adds to a great vibe on the Thursday nights that I go and assist sometimes at the Beenleigh Railway station.
We have a few barbeques coming up at Bunnings Bethania in the coming months and we are always looking for helpers. Our next date is Saturday 21st of September. Please call Secretary John on 0414469889 to book a spot. If you would are also able to assist us with the Papua New Guinea Independence Day celebration on the 15th of September, we are also looking for helpers. John is also the contact for that event.
This year a couple of club members volunteered at the Quota Beenleigh Eisteddfod. This has been a great experience once again. The teamwork and fellowship as well as witnessing the amazing talent from around Brisbane and the Gold Coast is so pleasing.
Also held recently was the Beenleigh Theatre Group’s ‘Festival of One Act Plays’, where our club sponsors an award for the event. I had the pleasure of attending a few of the performances, and as an avid theatre-goer, I can safely say there is some amazing talent in this area. However, seeing how talented some of these young writers and producers are was also very heart-warming and will be great for the future of theatre in this area and Australia. The winner of our sponsored award was “The Last Letter of Captain Moonlite” which was judged the best original work of the weekend. This play also took out many other awards. Well done Beenleigh Theatre for an outstanding weekend.
Yours in Rotary Service,
