Currimundi Catchment Care Group
Currimundi Catchment Care Group

Currimundi Catchment Care Group Inc. began as Friends of Currimundi Lake North West which formed in 2001 after Councillor Elaine Darling called a meeting for local residents interested in improving the environment of suburbs north of Currimundi Lake and those west of the Nicklin Way. The group was concerned about bank erosion, siltation and water quality of Currimundi Lake and its connecting system of creeks and canals, and preserving the natural features of fauna and flora.

In 2002, the group changed its name to Currimundi Catchment Community Care Group to reflect its expanded focus on the wider catchment, but later shortened the name to Currimundi Catchment Care Group. In 2005, the group became incorporated.

While working with Sunshine Coast Regional Council and receiving some financial support, the group aims to operate independently both financially and politically.

Tony Moorhead is the Group's President and will be presenting to us on Tuesday moning, 20 November

Mark gave thank you letters to all who contributed to the gift parcels that he took to the SACH Orphanage in Bohol as part of our project there.  See details of the project here.  A full presentation will be made by Mark & Darryl at the earliest opportunity.

Renew your Centurion membership, or join up
Just a reminder to all members to renew their Centurion membership, or become a new member - use the attached form.
 
As you may know, the Centurion program is the Australian way for Rotarians to make personal contributions to the Foundation – which is, of course, our charity.  Don’t forget that the $100 Centurion contributions accumulate towards a personal Paul Harris Fellowship and 50% eventually (three years' time) reappears to support club and District activities via District Designated Funds.
Melbourne Cup Lunch a great success

ROMAC Trivia Challenge Thursday 7 March 2019

Mark your diary now - Save the Date

It is that time of the year again and your support for the ROMAC Trivia Challenge that will be held at Unity College (same as last year) on Thursday 7 March. 
 
Last year was a great success for ROMAC and a better result this time is planned.  A target of 400 attendees has been set for this event.  Tables of eight are available and friends outside of Rotary Clubs are welcome.
 
This is a fun event and at the same time is a major fundraiser for ROMAC so that it can carry on with the Life Saving and/or Dignity Restoring Surgery for children mainly in the Oceania Region that cannot access this in their own country.
 
An Entry Form will be available in early December with instructions on completing it.   A Team Captain (Deb?) will complete this form.
 
In the meantime, plan to attend and save the date (7 March 2019).
