USUALLY, they are the ones delivering the lunches but on Tuesday, May 23 the volunteers from Coolum Beach Meals on Wheels and some special guests were the ones being catered for with a decadent roast lunch put on by the management staff as a way of saying thanks. To coincide with National Volunteers Week the management committee wanted to take the opportunity to let their volunteers know just how appreciated they are.
A fantastic hot carvery lunch was prepared by Chef Troy and his kitchen volunteers Linda, Pam and Greg and was served up to the volunteers and eaten within the grounds of the centre on Santa Monica Avenue. Other volunteers helped set up the marquees and tables and served drinks. The management committee would like to publicly thank Len, Tony, Butch, Pat and Coralie for all their hard work. Coordinator Gerard was found in the kitchen helping with the washing up after the event and everyone who attended had a wonderful time.
