The Zonta Club of Caloundra and Act for Kids Family and Child Connect have partnered together to support a community event to highlight women’s wellbeing, resilience and strength. On the 4th of May, located in the Beerwah Community Hall. The Women Alive Festival are welcoming women and children from all areas in the local and extended hinterland community from 10am – 3pm to join in the celebration.

Women Alive Festival will be a wonderful day, benefitting those in the communities of Landsborough, Beerwah, Beerburrum, Glasshouse, Mooloolah and Hinterland. Senior students from Beerwah High School and CWA are contributing to the day. The festival will include guest speakers, activities for women and children, information booths, light refreshments, as well as bus transport for local residents.

The theme for the day will be to celebrate the resilience and strength of women through “learning”, “inspiration” and “sharing our common threads”. Organisers hope to encourage connection and communication among women in the community to create a safer and supportive network where women and children can feel free to ask for help and can easily seek assistance.

Act for Kids Specialist and Practitioner from Maroochydore, Fiona Brown, said the festival aims to encourage connection and communication among women in the community.

“At the Women Alive Festival we aim to create a safer and more supportive community network and everyone is encouraged to come along and enjoy the event,” Ms Brown said.

Information sharing and support from organisations currently present in the area such as Caloundra Community Centre, Integrated Family and Youth Services, Community Solutions, Uniting Care, and Refocus will be part of the day. Members of the Nungeena Aboriginal Women’s Corporation of Glasshouse Mountains and Reconciliation Action Team within Sunshine Coast Regional Council have provided advisory support in planning the Festival.

The event welcomes all women and their children, including; Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and others experiencing vulnerability in the community, including domestic violence victims.

The Women Alive Festival is a positive, interesting and informative day covering topics such as Positive Parenting, Relationships with Food, Cyber Security, Understanding Elder Abuse and “Sista” Support. The day will also include a mix of interesting activities such as origami and star making, stalls of interest, book launches, lip reading and a great fashion parade from upcycled fashions. Raffles, Lucky Door Prize and children’s activities including storytelling, will engage all attendees.

The State Government Department of Child Safety, Youth and Women granted funding to assist our two organisations to facilitate this event and support women as part of Domestic and Family Violence Prevention Month in May.

The planning group have worked with local businesses, groups and organisations to embrace and support the local community. Child care services, Glasshouse groups and volunteers have come together to energise this event.

Join in with us on Saturday 4th May, at the Beerwah Community Hall, from 10am to 3pm.

Nambour General Hospital Auxiliary is calling all volunteers!
If you are passionate about your local community and helping others, and can donate a few hours of your time, the Nambour General Hospital Auxiliary is looking for you!
The volunteer Auxiliary team have been operating the kiosk and gift shop for more than 30 years. The dedicated team of volunteers is looking to expand their volunteer numbers, to continue their high level of service to the community.
The main purpose of the Auxiliary is to provide fresh and healthy food for staff, patients and visitors to Nambour General Hospital.
Auxiliary president Jean Whitney says volunteering and helping others for a greater cause is a rewarding experience.
“The funds we generate in the kiosk by me volunteering helps to provide equipment for the hospital. This is turn helps the community have a better hospital facility. This also helps staff,” Ms Whitney said.
The Auxiliary is a non-profit organisation and all funds raised from the sales of the kiosk and gift shop go towards purchasing necessary equipment for the patients and staff at Nambour General Hospital.
Since opening in March 1986, the auxiliary has proudly donated over $2 million in equipment to various hospital departments, made possible by the dedication of volunteers.
The only requirement for volunteers is a pleasant personality, and a preparedness to work in a team environment. Volunteers can give as little or as much of their time as they like.
If you are interested in volunteering, you can contact the Nambour General Hospital Auxiliary on Ph: (07) 5470 6858 or email ngh-auxiliary@health.qld.gov.au.

The Sunshine Coast’s own Oriana Choir is proud to bring you this magnificent Oratorio, in collaboration with the Brisbane Symphony Orchestra. Mendelssohn’s choral and orchestral masterwork depicts events in the life of the Biblical prophet, Elijah, with lyrics based directly on the text of the Old Testament books of I and II Kings.

The oratorio was premiered in 1846, and has come to hold its place with the greatest choral works still being performed the world over. Mendelssohn was inspired by his baroque heroes Handel and Bach, but the music is all Mendelssohn, and reflects his genius as a Romantic composer.

Oriana is no stranger to performing major choral works. Past presentations include Handel’s Messiah, Mozart’s Requiem and Mass In C Minor, Faure’s Requiem and Bach’s Magnificat. Oriana has long desired to perform this very special work, and is delighted to have the opportunity to work with the B.S.O., to stage it as part of the Events Centre’s re-opening celebrations next year.

Expect to hear the classics Let’s Get Married, Sunshine on Leith, Letter From America, I’m Gonna Be (500 Miles) and songs from their highly acclaimed 11th studio album Angry Cyclist produced by Dave Eringa (Manic Street Preachers, Kylie Minogue and Roger Daltrey).
