It’s that time of the year when the Christmas festivities take off, the decorations are up and many rush to get their shopping done with just two weeks left to go.
I enjoy the opportunity that this time of the year brings to catch up with the community groups and ‘thank’ them for all that they do to make the Sunshine Coast the amazing place that it is. We have some truly wonderful and generous people in our community.
I would also like to congratulate the class of 2022 and wish them all the best with their future adventures wherever it may take them. It’s an exciting time for them as they navigate the world without the structure and discipline that school brings. I value the youth in our community and what they bring to the conversation as they are the future of the Sunshine Coast.
Not long ago at a community event I held, I met a student that remembered me from school and I got the opportunity to meet her husband and her four children! Made my day, and yes, I remembered her from when she was at school.
Finally, a shout out to some great local organisations supporting people in tough times at Christmas. If you are looking to give a Christmas gift of kindness this year consider giving to St Vinnies, Lifeline or SunnyKids, or whomever you support to help them help others at Christmas – your donation will be appreciated.
As always, don’t hesitate to contact me if there is anything that I can be of assistance with.
