Truly amazing people in our community. Jack Padden / Northern Gold Coast Rotaract and Scott Stratton. Jack and the Northern Gold Coast Rotaract (with help from Scott Stratton) run the Community Coffee Shop at the Oxenford & Coomera Community Youth Centre on Saturdays. They ask for very little but give so much. The funds they raise help those in need in and around our community. Thank you for all that you do to make our community a better place!

Ripper of a day for the 2022 Santa JetSki ride. ☀️ All funds raised go towards Christmas Presents for Kids in Care. Well done Jane and team for raising about $6,000!!! At the finish line we counted 123 riders.

After a busy morning letterbox dropping, I’m spending time with the local Gold Coast Indian Community for the Haryanvi Utsav 2022! So much energy in one room!

Thank you Indian Community Of Gold Coast for their kind invitation to celebrate the Diwali Festival with them. Outstanding evening! Hopefully next year’s Diwali Festival will be bigger than ever. Diwali Festival has a wonderful meaning Light over Darkness, Good over Evil and Knowledge over Ignorance.

Ben Findlay and his team of helpers finishing off a rather large job helping a family in need. Big thank you to Aaron, Nikki, Naomi and Ezra for all their efforts today with the big clean up.
