BAY ISLANDS<br />
BLOOMERS<br />
by Patti Ponting<br />
What a delight to be<br />
invited to provide our<br />
Island Community<br />
with information<br />
regarding the ONLY<br />
FREE SENIORS'<br />
GROUP on our<br />
islands. This group<br />
has been functioning<br />
on Russell & Macleay<br />
Islands for the past 1 6<br />
years, run entirely by<br />
Volunteers (currently<br />
under the BICS<br />
'umbrella') & is open<br />
to anyone over the<br />
age of 55.<br />
There is no<br />
membership fee,<br />
simply attend a<br />
minimum of 3 Morning<br />
Tea events to qualify<br />
for a discounted daytrip<br />
3 times a year.<br />
Morning Tea, which<br />
includes<br />
entertainment /<br />
information / raffle,<br />
occurs each 4th<br />
Friday of the month at<br />
the Progress Hall on<br />
Macleay 9.30-<br />
11 .30am for which a<br />
bus pick-up can be<br />
arranged by<br />
contacting Judy<br />
Gorham on 3409 4650<br />
a week prior to the<br />
event. At the moment,<br />
sadly, there is no<br />
event on Russell as<br />
the previous<br />
Coordinator, Heather<br />
Wiley, who did<br />
wonderful work with<br />
her Volunteers, had to<br />
resign through ill<br />
health.<br />
As soon as someone<br />
on Russell volunteers<br />
(could that be YOU?)<br />
to take up the position<br />
Morning Tea will<br />
resume at the Rec.<br />
Hall near the jetty on<br />
the 2nd Friday of each<br />
month.<br />
Contact Judy Gorham<br />
if you can help. Come<br />
& join the Macleay<br />
event, where the bus<br />
picks up from the<br />
arriving ferry at<br />
9.1 0am & will return<br />
you to the jetty.<br />
The next day-trip will<br />
be on Friday 23rd<br />
September to the<br />
Toowoomba Festival<br />
of the Flowers,<br />
including morning tea<br />
& lunch. If you are not<br />
yet a member but are<br />
interested in this trip<br />
you are welcome to<br />
join us if there are<br />
seats available.<br />
Contact Judy Gorham<br />
for more information<br />
3409 4650.<br />
Don't be shy! Come<br />
along for a fun social<br />
morning with your<br />
peers. See you there!<br />
