Newsletter Editor Notes Hi everyone and welcome to 2021. 2020 Milestones COVID-19, COVID-19 and COVID-19 what else! New buildings that we have bought include our future Rockhampton office and community centre at 107 East Street Rockhampton CBD, a block of 3 by 3 bedroom SIL homes in Ibis Avenue Kawana and a 4 bedroom respite house in Vanity Street Rockville. The Paul Myatt Community Centre has received new safety fencing, a new paint job and a new sun sail. The front office has been updated and our accounts department now occupy that space. Online Training The response to our new online training program by staff has been very disappointing considering the number of requests for training last year and the efforts to get this operational. There are 58 staff who have still not logged in. Well done to those who have logged in and completed modules, with special mention to those who have completed the first 9 modules
