GUEST SPEAKER: Joanne Cook from the Community Visitor Scheme was our Guest Speaker for
November. The Scheme is government funded and has been operating for 28 years. They cover
many suburbs in our area including Wynnum, Victoria Point, Bulimba and Carina. They arrange for
Volunteers to visit aged care residents to provide friendship and companionship for those feeling
isolated or depressed and the visit can take on
varying activities such as playing board games,
going for a walk, reading or just sharing their
stories. As little as one hour a fortnight is required
to make a world of difference to someone’s life.

FRIENDSHIP LUNCHEON: The next
friendship luncheon will be held on Thursday,
16th
January, 2020 one week after our January
Meeting. Venue to be advised at the Meeting in
January.
NEWS FROM THE TOUR DIRECTOR: Our last day trip for the year was a great success.
Morning Tea was held at Lake Samsonvale over looking the North Pine Dam. Jan Dinsdale who
organises the bus morning teas baked two delicious Christmas Cakes. These were so yummy and
very moorish-enjoyed by all. There was not even a crumb left. Thank you Jan for the baking – it was
very much appreciated by all. Some time was spent on the other side of the dam before arriving at
our lunch venue, Birches at Mt. Mee. It was a shame visibility was poor due to the smoke haze
because there are spectacular views from that area. It was, however, surprisingly green in some parts.
We all sat down to a three course lunch which was highly enjoyable. There was plenty of food and
the service was great. We were so impressed we have booked the venue for our Christmas in July
Day Trip on July 23, 2020. This will be more of a Christmas theme with entertainment and perhaps a
log fire. Neil led us in song on our journey home playing some old favourite tunes. Sorry to those
who couldn’t have an afternoon nap on the bus.
We have had some enjoyable day trips over the past year and we are now organising the day trips for
2020. There will be no day trip in January due to the Cruise which departs on January 23, 2020.
Our next day trip will be on 27th
February, 2020. Details at the January meeting.
ON BEHALF OF THE MANAGEMENT COMMITTEE WE WISH EVERYONE AND
THEIR FAMILIES A VERY HAPPY AND SAFE CHRISTMAS AND HEALTH AND
HAPPINESS THROUGHOUT THE COMING YEAR.
