ANZAC Day - Thank you everyone

Good afternoon everyone,

 

These are the emails I love to write as they are all about how proud it makes me to be apart of this group!

 

On ANZAC Day we had 54 members attend, plus the families. Add to this everyone was dressed to impress in the correct uniform.

 

It was great to see all four sections represented and there were many comments in the crowd as we walked past. Most not realising we exists.

 

You should all be very proud of being part of the day and helping represent the group at what is an important day. 

 

I also want to acknowledge the patience of all who attended as we had to wait for the parade to start. You all did exceptionally well and you should all be given a huge pat on the back. It was truly a positive for all there.

 

For the record we had 35 attend the Dawn Service and 50 attend the March. 

 

Thank you everyone for making it a great day and looking forward to 2015.

 DRESS CODE - FULL UNIFORM

   Please be mindful of the type of activity this is for both events. We require you in full uniform with School    Style shorts in Blue (preferred), Grey or Taupe (Sandstone) optional.

 

   Please ensure the length is appropriate.

 

   Water will be available at the start and end - no camel packs to be worn and preferred drink bottles not    carried as it is only a short walk. Also have your charges sun screened up before we start.

    

 WHAT IT MEANS 

 

This year marks 100 years since WWI was declared in Europe in August 1914.  It would take another 8 months before the legends of the ANZACS were born - hence why 2015 will be another major year and bigger than most.

 

It is important we understand the significance of the day and ensure we are dressed accordingly to show respect for those who returned in all wars and especially for those who did not. As we are out in public we want to put on the show and ensure we enjoy the moments and soak up the atmosphere. I know those who march always get a buzz from it.

Windaroo State School Twilight Markets

Windaroo State School Twilight Markets

Windaroo State School Twilight Markets May 2, 5:30pm - 9:30pm

Good morning everyone,

 

Just wanted to let you know we have been able to secure a spot at the Windaroo State School Twilight Markets on May 2. This will be a fundraising event and we will be calling for Cake Stall items again.

 

I am aware this date is also the Scout Region Camp, so it might be a case of drop off your goodies the night before.

 

I will need about no more than three helpers on the night as we have only a 3 x 3m area so space will be limited, what would be good is if we could have shifts of two to 2.5 hours for setup and set down.

 

Please book this into your calendars as the Cake Stalls are proving to be be hit and a good fundraiser for us. 

 

If you will be able to help or bake for this event please indicate below. 

Are you attending? Yes I am attending. No, I cannot attend.

New BBQ Fundraising Location - 2nd Saturday monthly

I am pleased to advise UltraTune Beenleigh has offered the Group a BBQ Fundraising slot every 2nd Saturday of the month, starting on April 12. I would like to thank the Davies family for arranging this with the store.

 

In the next two weeks a new roster will be put out for you all to commit to one slot  - as it is local I am expecting every family to assist us with this. You will only be asked to do one BBQ slot, if the hours remain the same as a AutoBarn. 

 

For that that have already done a BBQ this year at AutoBarn, you will not be required to commit again as you have done the one BBQ asked of you. But please feel free to help if we are short handed.

 

If you cannot commit to the date please seek a replacement and swap, we man just enough for the day and  last minute cancellation making it hard for organisers to be prepared and ensure enough hands available for the event.

 

COMING FUNDRAISING ACTIVITIES 

• March 29 - Bush Dance (Cuboree fundraiser) 
• Apr 12 - UltraTune BBQ
• May 2 -  Twilight Markets Cake Stall (tbc)
• May 3 - Bethania School Fete - Car Wash (tbc)
• May 10 - UltraTune BBQ

Fundraising Update - February Wrap

Car Boot Sale & Car Wash

AND THE RESULT IS! 

Thank you to everyone that participated/donated good for the weekend fundraiser. It was such a good day and I believe it was fairly successful for Stall holders.

 

After all the counting and items purchased taken out the result of the efforts was:    

$860

 

Money raised goes towards the den maintenance and towards the much needed BBQ Trailer we are seeking.

Cuboree Bush Dance - March 29 at 4pm

 BUSH DANCE - FAMILY NIGHT OUT

 

 The Cuboree Fundraising team  invite you to attend a  Family Bush Dance.

 

On March 29 at 4pm, 

Cost will be $5 for entry per person

 

                        

 

 

          Local Country and Western band along. 

 

If you remember going to a bush dance come along as this is what we are running on the night, Line dancing, bush dancing and maybe something else.  

 

Invite your loved ones, school friends, neighbours  to come along for the 'shin-ding'! 

 

BBQ Fundraisers - New location

NEW BBQ LOCATION  FOUND

 

I am happy to advise that we have found another BBQ venue and I am in the process of sorting out dates before I announce the name. At this time I am hoping we can keep the original dates we had planned. To those that placed their names for the next BBQ we may still call upon you for that weekend.

 

 

NEXT CAKE STALL - MAY 2

It was wonderful to have so many cakes on the weekend. We sold 95% of them by 12pm.

 

At this stage I am looking to hold another Cake Stall on May 2 at the Twilight Markets at Windaroo State School. Please have pans and rollers at the ready for this one.

 

I will also need people to help man the stall on that night. If you are willing to assist please let me know.
