Team Lemonade

By Jonathon Howard

THE MESSAGE of Harmony Day “live in harmony within our community” was in full swing at Team Lemonade in Tweed Heads on Thursday, March 23. Harmony Day is an annual event celebrating a day recognising what it means to actually live in harmony and to under- stand and celebrate social cohesion which refers to the strength of relationships and the sense of solidarity among members of our local Tweed community.

Team Lemonade CEO Elaine Johnston has worked in partnership with Opal Aged Care for several years.

“For this year’s Harmony Day, Team Lemonade extended an invitation to the residents of Opal Aged Care for a beautiful morning tea celebration which was catered by our young adults with diverse abilities,” she said.

“Everyone enjoyed the morning sharing stories, food, music, and dancing.”

The Department of Home Af fairs leads national celebrations for Harmony Week to recognise diversity and inclusion activities that take place during the entire week.

Since 1999, more than 80,000 Harmony Week events have been held in childcare centres, schools, community groups, churches, businesses and fed

SUMMER BRIGHT LAGER 6 PACK $12 WITH ANY PURCHASE IN STORE

WHAT A cracking weekend of footy and outside the Broncos extending their lead unbeaten at the top the tipping has been difficult.

It’s early doors but the noise is getting loud around the Broncos and if they can avoid a last month fade out like last year and get through the Origin period healthy they can finish top 4.

It is a well balanced outfit that has strikepower all over the park with a super middle combination of Haas and Carrigan leading from the front.

A few close games and also a few blow outs.

I’m still not convinced I like the idea of Golden Point.

A draw is a draw in my opinion and I feel it affects teams the week after with fatigue. Talking about fatigue, the effort of Jake Trbjovevic on the weekend was sublime.

Ninety minutes in the front row and was cutting blokes in half in extra time - he is a true warrior of the sport.

I had a feeling the wheels would fall off the Raiders this year and they have produced nothing so far in 2023 to change my opinion.

This could have been the game that has awoken the sleeping giant that is the Panthers and their attack.

The Storm have been up and down but they showed again the class they have in being able to just win these types of games.

I reckon Manly will be dirty on dropping a point in Mudgee but full credit to the Knights for hanging in.

I’m not sure if the wheels have fallen off the Dolphins but they are definitely wobbling with some injuries and suspensions.

The Warriors continue to surprise and sit second on the ladder after a gritty comeback on the weekend against the Sharks.

Matt Burton is some player and he showed his class again on the weekend.

The Dogs should be locking him up real long term - he is the next million dollar man.

Suaalii has been in the headlines for the union move but who can blame him.

Ridiculous money to travel the world at such a young age and he can come back to the Chooks at 23 a rich man = no brainer for me!

The big talking point at the moment is the Tigers, they are simply rudderless.

The Broncos had them beaten within 15 minutes on the weekend and they never looked a chance.

The Roster is poor and the ones they are relying on are not firing a bullet. A win looks a long way off to be honest.

A few cracking games this weekend to be played for the Easter round as we kick back and eat plenty of Eggs.

The NRL Rookie to Rise program finished up in Lennox Head on Sunday morning in what is a great initiative by the NRL.

The program focuses on the defensive side of the game, strength and conditioning and also modules off the field to do with hydration, recovery, nutrition and other facets of the game. They joined our up and coming stars in the Lisa Fiaola U/17s team for a session that was a wonderful promotion for the female game in the area.

The NRRRL kicks off after Easter.

See you at the footy. Quinny
