Kumbia QCWA members are relieved to hear a bladder scanner has finally been purchased for the Kingaroy Hospital.<\/p>\n

The branch instigated a plan to purchase this equipment early this year and appealed to other not-for-profit organisations within the Kingaroy community to help by selling tickets in a minor art union.<\/p>\n

We were very grateful for the positive response we received from several groups and individuals, which resulted in $3916.40 being raised from the art union.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy Hospital’s Auxiliary also agreed to support the project and we jointly issued an appeal to other community groups to donate to this.<\/p>\n

Again, there was wonderful support and funds were sufficient to enable the purchase by July.<\/p>\n

But it has taken until now for this to eventuate.<\/p>\n

To all those wonderful community members who supported this project we say “well done” and thank you!<\/p>\n

Kumbia QCWA celebrated Vietnamese International Day on November 12 with a craft morning, lunch and guest speaker.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The craft was weaving strips to make containers or mats. and it proved quite challenging – but we were assured by our Vietnamese guest that Vietnamese girls learn this in Grade 1.<\/p>\n

Our lunch was prepared by International Officer Catherine Woodham and reflected Vietnamese cuisine.<\/p>\n

Our guest Helen and her husband John told us of their experiences in Vietnam and encouraged us to visit.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We are grateful for the assistance we\u2019ve recently received from a Jupiter’s Gambling Community Fund.<\/strong><\/p>\n

They have given us a grant which has enabled us to have our Rooms in Kumbia fully painted – externally, internally and the roof.<\/p>\n

Our garage sale on November 8 was successful in clearing quite a lot of our collected items and the balance was donated to a local charity.<\/strong><\/p>\n

We thank our member Joyce Dickenson for the use of her grounds for this.<\/p>\n

* * *<\/strong><\/h2>\n

We made use of Val Smith\u2019s home for our November meeting and thank her for her hospitality.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Following the meeting, we shared a lunch and watched the Melbourne Cup.<\/p>\n

For our December meeting, members will have a quick meeting in the Rooms and then adjourn to the Kumbia Hotel for a pre-Christmas lunch, where we invite family members and friends to join us and share a Secret Santa to an approximate value of $5.<\/p>\n

Members will have one more function before our year ends when we hold a stall at the Kumbia Christmas Market on 14 December.<\/p>\n

We wish all readers a very enjoyable Christmas and hope we will have good health and good seasons in the New Year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
