South Burnett residents have the chance to hear one of Australia\u2019s most dynamic councillors, Ipswich Mayor Cr Paul Pisasale, speak at the Mayor\u2019s Community Charity Breakfast on Friday (August 21).<\/p>\n

Mayor Pisasale was elected to council to in 1991 and became Mayor in 2004.<\/p>\n

South Burnett Mayor Wayne Kratzmann said he had invited Mayor Pisasale to speak at this week\u2019s charity breakfast to inspire local businesses.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMayor Pisasale helped turn Ipswich from what was perceived to be Brisbane\u2019s poor second cousin into a vibrant, internationally successful city in its own right,\u201d Mayor Kratzmann said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think it would be vital for anyone with an interest in business or tourism in the South Burnett to be there to hear what he has to say. He\u2019s a very inspirational man, and our regions have a lot in common.\u201d<\/p>\n

Funds raised from the Mayor\u2019s Community Charity Breakfast will go towards the Mayor\u2019s Community Benefit Fund, which is again open for applications.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Previous beneficiaries include Graham House Community Centre\u2019s Warm For Winter project, which provided needy South Burnett families with beds, mattresses and blankets, and The South Burnett Pantry.<\/p>\n

This round, the Mayor\u2019s Community Benefit Fund is open to organisations which aid children and families in the South Burnett. Guidelines are available on Council\u2019s website or via the Customer Centre on (07) 4189-9100. Applications close on August 31, 2015.<\/p>\n

The breakfast begins at 6:45am for a 7:00am start at the Kingaroy Town Common Hall. Cost is $30 per person which includes a hot breakfast.<\/p>\n
