QCWA thrown a lifeline with temporary space for members
THE QCWA Flying Fish Point has been thrown a lifeline this week, following the devastating loss of its hall on 5 March, with another local community group reaching out to offer a temporary meeting place.
Girl Guides Queensland, particularly the Atherton, Garradunga and Flying Fish Point divisions, are providing QCWA Flying Fish Point with the use of its little hut in Elizabeth Street, Flying Fish Point, as the branch’s home.
As branch members face the huge task of rebuilding, they now have a space for their members to continue their much-needed community work, as well as art and craft and other activities.
Everyone is welcome to pop in on the first, third and fifth Thursday of the month from 9am-12pm to do craft or just to have a chat.
Members have received overwhelming messages of support for the QCWA Flying Fish Point branch and the closeknit beachside community.
Once members have settled into their new home, the branch says it will be organising fund-raising events to keep things moving forward and to help replace items lost in the hall so it can service the community again.
The Flying Fish Point branch has been running since 1959 and is part of the southern end of the Far Northern division, which includes the branches of Tully, Silkwood, East Palmerston and Babinda.
