Newsy bits

7 Dec 2018

Thank you to the Cairns Sequence Dancers for their donation this week.
This lovely group of Bob and Denise Thomas (left) with Glenda Williams and Roger Evans (right) were thrilled to hand over $500 cash to our fundraising and marketing manager, Glenys Duncombe.
The group raised the money through entry fees to their Thursday night dances at the Darts Hall.
They had seen that we are fundraising for the surgical microscope and asked the money go towards that cause.
Thank you!!

After months of intensive training, our team has been rewarded with their certificates in Espresso Coffee making essentials.
Grinders Coffee business development executive and coffee guru Xavier Kier said the standard of training and achievement was very high.
“We have some amazing baristas here,” Xavier said. Commercial operations manager Steve McGuiness said the feedback from customers had been very positive and rewarding.
Pictured are newly certified baristas Daphne Saxton, Lynne Fitzhenry, Rachael Davis, Siobhan Ross, Georgia Parry with Xavier.
