PRESIDENT’S REPORT – AUGUST/SEPTEMBER 2024

 

And just like that, we are into Term 4, the last for 2024.  We have celebrated at our annual Art and Music event on 1 September and thank our many contributors and musicians that make this day the success that it is every year.

 

EVENTS

Our fundraiser Spring Stall on 5 October was successful making over $500.  Thanks to Barb and Kerryn for Rocky Road and Chocolate Squares, and the committee and volunteers who helped with set-up, sales and clean-up.

 

The focus currently is on our mental health and wellbeing with Mental Health Week 5-13 October 2024.  As we do every year, Coolum HeARTs raises awareness of the problems faced by those experiencing mental health issues.  We do this by SINGING.  Singing relieves stress, improves lung function, increases our natural oxytocin and dopamine and builds a sense of community and belonging.  Our VIPs (members of parliament, Mayor of Sunshine Coast and Councillors) have all accepted to be present.  Please come along to our free Sing Out for Mental Health afternoon at Coolum State Primary School on Sunday 13 October from 1pm to 3.30pm followed by afternoon tea.  A food van will also be on site for specialist coffees, juices and smoothies.  We are running a raffle on the day with some great artistic works as prizes.  See Val and Viv at the door for tickets.

 

Saturday 2 November 1pm to 5pm sees the return of the popular Sip’n’Smash afternoon in the Shed where you can create your own mosaic birdhouse.  Twenty spots available, so register quickly at a cost of only $40 per person and indulge your creative side.   Bookings – phone 0478 646 330.

 

MERCH

Our SHOP page is now available on our website featuring some of our local artists’ work, with more to come.  Thanks to Jamie and Karim John Owens for their work in getting this up and running.

 

VOLUNTEER OF THE MONTH

Congratulations to Stephanie Trow, volunteer for August and Ruth Robinson, volunteer for September.  We so much appreciate that you give freely of your time to assist with activities.  Thank you both.

 

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING

You will have already received the invitation and associated paperwork to attend this year’s AGM on 20 October 2024 at the Shed.  I urge you to get your RSVPs in for this event.  This is your organisation – please come along and have your say and support your hardworking committee and volunteers to make it an even better success.
