FLASHBACK: Peter and Susan Mortimer kicked off Blue Care’s first ‘Dogless Doorknock Appeal’ at Kingaroy Shoppingworld last June … this year’s doorknock raised $3300 in 10 days<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 27, 2019<\/strong><\/p>\n

A “Dogless Doorknock Appeal” held at Kingaroy Shoppingworld in June this year has helped improve the lives of Canowindra Residential Care patients.<\/p>\n

Blue Care committee chairman Peter Mortimer recently presented a $3300 cheque to Blue Care South Burnett’s Service Manager Debra Nawrotzky.<\/p>\n

The money will be used to purchase an Alto MKII patient lifter which will increase the safety and comfort of residents.<\/p>\n

The funds were donated by the community at Kingaroy Shoppingworld.<\/p>\n

Fifty-five volunteers manned the tables over the 10-day period, some for an hour and some for longer.<\/p>\n

They included students from Kingaroy State High School, Blue Care staff, and members of the local Uniting Church and their friends.<\/p>\n

On behalf of the committee, Peter said he would like to thank Shoppingworld, all the volunteers and everyone who made a donation of any size to help make the lives of Canowindra residents more pleasant. <\/strong><\/p>\n

Extra funds were also raised at Nanango through a morning tea, and through donations from Blackbutt, Yarraman and Nanango.<\/p>\n

This extra funding has allowed the committee to assist with equipment for Canowindra’s Blue Bird Caf\u00e9 and themed dinner nights.<\/p>\n

The dinner nights are to be held on the first Friday night of every month, and give residents and their families the chance to dine together in a restaurant-style setting.<\/p>\n

Anyone would like to volunteer to assist with any of these activities should contact Canowindra directly on (07) 4160-0100.<\/p>\n

Footnote: Why dogless?\u00a0The rise of the cashless society \u2013 and the occasional over-enthusiastic dog \u2013 has made many charities rethink their traditional approaches to fundraising.<\/em><\/p>\n
