Volunteers helping volunteers … isn’t this the country way? Last night at the Kumbia Rural Watch meeting a special event occurred.
A presentation was made by the Kingaroy SES (which encompasses Kumbia) to the Rural Watch committee of a colour laser printer to assist them with their correspondence and newsletter production.
The Kumbia Rural Watch distributes more than 500 newsletters every quarter throughout the region, indicating an outstanding interest and commitment of the community to neighbourhood matters.
Kingaroy SES presented the printer as part of its community involvement, and especially to demonstrate volunteers helping volunteers.
Morris Winter, chair of the Rural Watch Group, motioned that he would write a thank you letter to SES, which brought a resounding call from the attendees “using the colour printer” !
The Rural Watch meeting was attended by about 20 community-minded people as well as Kumbia Police officer-in-charge Senior Constable Adam Entwistle. Special guest was Acting Dalby Inspector Lance Guteridge who chatted about his long affinity with the Kumbia district.
Kumbia Rural Watch has a proud history of attracting special police guests with both Inspectors as well as Superintendents visiting from Gympie, which was the District’s Headquarters prior to the recent police reorganisation.
