Maleny Senior Citizens

Maleny Senior Citizens meet every Friday morning from about 8.45 until 11am for a Cuppa, Chat, and some board games and a laugh or two. They meet in the Verandah Room under the Maleny Community Centre.

Every Friday morning is ‘drop in’ where games, laughter and morning tea is enjoyed by all. Occasionally the group join together to go on bus or train trips to varying local areas. Everything the club does is based on social activities that are fun.

This is one of the most social activities that we believe is held on a regular basis and is open to anyone over the age of 50.

So if you would like to have a Cuppa, a Chat, a Laugh or just sit and listen to the chatter this is the place to come. New members are always welcome.

Call Margaret on 0419 179516 or 54942621. We look forward to seeing you soon.

Lions Club of Maleny Blackall Range supporting “Speak Up Now”

The Lions Club of Maleny Blackall Range continues to support the “Speak Up Now” initiative.

Val France and Sherryl Gregory were the guest speakers at the July dinner meeting held at the Maleny Hotel. Both representatives of “Speak Up Now” addressed the various aspects of Domestic Violence and Elder Abuse and provided club members with copies of the resources they have produced to help educate the Maleny and Surrounds community. These resources explain in simple terms how to identify these issues and contact details for the many organisations who can help people in need.

As part of the “Speak Up Now” initiative, Val and Sherryl are collecting old mobile phones. These phones are cleared by IT experts and then distributed as Safe Phones to people who are victims of abuse so they have a safe phone, that is not tracked by the abuser, to contact family and friends. This Safe Phone enables communication which is critical for ongoing safety and support.

The Lions Club of Maleny Blackall Range has provided financial support to the Speak Up Now group, as well as assisting with catering at educational seminars and will continue to assist this fantastic initiative to help deal with the growing Domestic Violence and Elder Abuse affecting our community.
