        Our guest speaker at last week’s meeting was Olwyn Kerr from Guide Dogs Qld with her
        ambassador dog Hero. Olwyn has been a regular visitor to our Club over many years. This
        year  we  discovered  many  of  the  other  services  that  Guide  Dogs  Queensland  provide  to
        support the visually impaired. Many of the services are provided by volunteers who give their
        time to assist either by visiting clients or being on call so clients can phone them when help is
        needed.
        We also heard about the guide dog training facility in Brisbane which breeds and trains the
        dogs.  The  Club  can  organise  a  visit  to  the  facility  if  there  is  sufficient  interest  from  our
        members.

        Coming Events
        The next couple of weeks is a busy time for our Club with the setup for the Nurture festival
                                                                                                               th
        next  Friday,  the  Nurture  festival  on  Saturday  and  the  Lift  The  Lid  Walk  on  Sunday  13
        October. If you have not put your name on the various rosters then please do so. It makes the
        job of the organisers so much easier.
