Easter Services

family years, Jenny and Charles spent a lot of time volunteering with Dog Obedience, Dog Showing (Labradors mainly), Cubs, Scouts, Amateur Radio (supporting SES), the Betty Meskell School of Dance and the Mackay Community Theatre, and the Mackay Entertainment and Convention Centre.

But Jenny and Charles were far from short-sighted when it came to experiencing the world around them. They have had many overseas trips including to the UK and Canada to visit family and to Europe, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, China, and Islands in the Pacific. They enjoy short holidays in South-East Queensland, particularly mountains and beaches. Most of their days are spent with family, friends and neighbours and enjoying their volunteering and recreational pursuits.

Now retired, the determined couple continue their selfpronounced duty to fulfil various volunteering roles, including working with Ferny Grove Primary School’s Ready Reader Program and as Bird Survey Conductors for the Kedron Brook Catchment Management. They are also well-known local environmentalists contributing bird and habitat information when opportunity arises to better guide development outcomes, as well as many more roles.
