news Encouraging the next wave of leaders

ABOVE AND BELOW: About 50 women attended the official launch of WomenKind Australia at Noosa.

A NEW local not-for-profit organisation established to connect, encourage, educate and empower women to become leaders in the community has been officially launched.

WomenKind Australia Inc’s first project was the Mingle in the Mayor Ball, which raised $280,000 for counselling and support services in the Noosa Shire that are delivered by SunnyKids.

Noosa Mayor and WomenKind Australia Inc. Patron, Clare Stewart said that while acknowledging how fortunate we are to live in Noosa, there were members of the community who need support to progress and grow.

“This support may include finding a safe place to sleep at night, stepping up into leadership roles to make the community a better place, or accessing opportunities to learn and achieve greater personal or work successes.

“I’m pleased to be the patron of this unique new organisation and look forward to working with the WomenKind Australia Inc. Board to deliver real outcomes and positive change in Noosa and the broader community.”

About 50 women and men attended the official launch of WomenKind Australia Inc at Noosa’s latest event location, Bounce, last month (see more photos page 1617) to celebrate with a glass of bubbles and delicious nibbles by Noosa chef, Olly Vallis.

Local foods were provided by Noosa Providores and music by local singer songwriter, Tess Fapani.

Have you seen Hazel? Missing from Pine Street, Cooroy, since October 29.

Help needed for little Hazel to find her way home

A MUCH loved cat is missing from Cooroy. Hazel, a six-year-old Ragdoll cross, has been missing since 19 October from Pine Street, Cooroy.

Owner, Cooroy State School teacher, Nadine Gelhaar, told the Cooroy Rag that Hazel may be heading towards her home on Pines Road, off Belli Creek Road.

“She is microchipped and only wearing a tick/flea collar," said Ms Gelhaar.

Hazel is an inside cat and is quite shy around people.

She was just recovering from an injured front leg, so may still have a slight limp. “She has beautiful blue eyes, is very fluffy and is white with brown patches and a big fluffy brown tail. "She is very loved and missed.”

Nadine is asking anyone who might have seen or who happens to see Hazel, to contact her anytime day or night on mobile number: 0417 415 645.
