Anne introduced the guest speakers, Peter Ryan & Jackie Parry from Vinnies, our Golf Day 2019 recipients. Anne noted the high incidence of homelessness and food stress in Caloundra, often close to home but not always in plain sight. Peter talked on the history of the Society of St Vincent de Paul which dates from the 1700s. Now known as Vinnies, they work to help people help themselves. Jackie spoke on the education assistance they give, with single mothers being most in need. Our “free” education is quite expensive for many. |
