2024 in Review

2024 was an enjoyable year for our Members with eight new Members. A Bunnings Sausage Sizzle was our fund raiser, a Brisbane River Cruise always an enjoyable outing. The Lord Mayors Senior Christmas Party topped off 2024.

Members celebrated with a Bush Christmas and variety show starring the committee , a sing-a-long with Rosy and our very talented Valerie, who did a skit on how to make a Christmas cake. which was hilarious. Bonnie did an excellent job with running the show with her jokes and comparing.

Merry Christmas to all our Members and Committee, and may 2025 be an excellent year.
