Opening of Crows Nest information centre<br />

The latest project for the Crows Nest Historical<br />

Society has been the relocation of the old<br />

Queensland Rail grain shed from behind the<br />

Crows Nest Pharmacy to the front of the museum<br />

site on the New England Highway at the corner of<br />

Thallon and Oxford Streets.<br />

The addition of this new building will provide<br />

Crows Nest with an information centre as well as<br />

a reception area for the museum. To complement<br />

the newly renovated building, Queensland Rail<br />

are installing historical information boards on the<br />

site.<br />

MP backs a better Christmas for the homeless<br />

On the first day of the 12 Days<br />

of Christmas Community Giving<br />

Campaign, Member for Toowoomba<br />

North Trevor Watts joined forces<br />

with Base Services to help the<br />

homeless.<br />

Mr Watts spent the morning<br />

preparing and serving meals at<br />

the Basement Soup Kitchen with<br />

founders Nat and Tiffany Spary.<br />

“The Basement Soup Kitchen<br />

serves lunchtime meals each week<br />

day, as well as providing access to<br />

essential services and resources for<br />

those who need it,” Mr Watts said.<br />

“Christmas is a difficult time of<br />

year for many people, particularly<br />

those who don’t have permanent<br />

accommodation and are struggling<br />

to make ends meet.”<br />

“Having a safe place to eat makes<br />

a world of difference to individuals<br />

and families who are homeless or at<br />

risk of homelessness.”<br />

Base Services social worker<br />

Tiffany Spary said Christmas is<br />

often the toughest time of the year,<br />

making many people feel alone or<br />

isolated.<br />

“The Basement Soup Kitchen<br />

hosts a special Christmas Day lunch<br />

where individuals and families who<br />

have nowhere to go and no one<br />

to celebrate with, can join us for<br />

Christmas Day lunch,” Tiff said.<br />

“We try to make sure everyone<br />

we work with knows they’re<br />

appreciated and cared about.<br />

“Each of our Christmas Day<br />

lunch guests will also receive an<br />

individualised Christmas hamper to<br />

make Christmas time a little easier<br />

and happier.”<br />

Members of the community<br />

can still help Base Services make<br />

a difference this Christmas by<br />

donating items.<br />

Christmas hampers could include:<br />

Rice crackers, drinks, Poppas,<br />

500ml soft drink, chocolates, bags of<br />

sweets, sweet and savoury biscuits,<br />

chips, Pringles, carry bag, can<br />

opener, muesli<br />

bars, Christmas<br />

pudding,<br />

candy canes,<br />

gift vouchers,<br />

coffee, food,<br />

cans of tuna and<br />

chicken, nuts,<br />

baked beans,<br />

spaghetti,<br />

deodorant, lip<br />

balm, socks,<br />

Mr Watts commended Base<br />

Services and all the community and<br />

not-for-profit organisations across<br />

Toowoomba North for their ongoing<br />

work.<br />

“It’s heart warming to see so<br />

many volunteers and organisations<br />

coming together to offer support to<br />

those doing it tough this Christmas,”<br />

he said.<br />
