supporting Kawana Waters State College by assisting at a BBQ on 28 May which is a
fundraising event for their Interact Club.
Then on 29 May twenty of us will leave for the Bunya Mountain Retreat for three nights -
thanks to Phil Ballinger for organising this. Some Rotarians will also be helping on 31 May
th
at the Open Day for the QF6 50 Anniversary. This event will showcase facilities such as the
headquarters Building, vessels, and Memorial Wall, alongside a range of displays, videos,

Next Club Meeting

The next Club meeting 25 May 2026

Our next club meeting will be held at the Mooloolaba Bowls Club. The guest speaker will be
Kevan Dacey who will be talking on Cheshire Disability Services, Port Moresby.

Member Kevan Dacey will fill us in on the Cheshire Disability Services project in Port
Moresby. Kevan worked with this organisation while living in PNG from 2010-2014. We
have contributed to this organisation in the past and Kevan would like to discuss it being a
potential project for 2027. Cheshire Disability Services provides a wide range of services for
Persons with Disabilities (PWDs), both within the organization itself and in the wider PNG
community. It has a residential facility and a school for people with disabilities and has an
outreach physio and occupational service.
