Morris House receives donation View Club at Mary Cairncross

Contributed by Janet Kitchin

GLASSHOUSE Country View Club enjoyed a lovely morning at Mary Cairncross Park for their June outing.

We had a lovely morning tea at the café there and then some of the ladies went for a walk in the reserve whilst others explored the interpretation centre.

Our next get together will be on June 21 when we will celebrate our 20th birthday with a floral themed High Tea at 10am at Glasshouse Country RSL Club 1 Reed Street Glasshouse Township. It will be a fun filled day with lots of raffles, games and of course great food.

Our club raises funds for the Smith Family and the Learning for Life Program in all their activities.

Our club currently supports 5 Learning for Life students. Any ladies who are interested in coming along to one of our events or would like to join our club should contact either Adrienne on 0408 486 124 or Janet on 0448 845 303. You can also visit our website on www.view.org.au or facebook.

MORRIS House Neighbourhood Centre has been kept busy recently with assisting clients and updating aspects of our services.

Really good news is that we received some very generous donations in the last few weeks. Club Glasshouse held a trivia night and donated $2033 - which was truly amazing. This money will be used for our emergency relief program.

McGrath Real estate clients donated $400, which is also greatly appreciated. Morris House receives funding from Sunshine Coast Council which pays for running costs but can’t be used for any programs such as emergency relief, so we rely on donations to be able to assist our clients.

We owe a huge thank you to the local churches who collect food and other items donated by their members.

A new source of donations is food and other items from Woolworths supermarket at Beerwah. These donations have made it possible to provide meat, chicken, canned goods, yogurt and a lot more.

Other services provided include Go Cards, PBS prescriptions, vouchers and food, as well as hygiene products, toiletries, warm items. We provide free internet and computer use, printing/copying (small fee) and free phone use.

If you are in need of help, please call in and see us. We are open Monday to Friday 9am -2pm. No appointment necessary. Our volunteers are always happy to assist you.

We are looking for volunteers. If you can help, please call us or call in, and times can be adjusted to suit you. For all enquires or help please call in or call 075494 1255 or email morrishouse@landsborough.com
