| Part of the large audience at the Lion's welcome dinner
|
It all started with an idea of a dinner to welcome new residents to Maleny at a board meeting but with lots of hard work, planning and community support it became a reality.
Last Wednesday night 18th October Maleny Lions held their first Welcome to Maleny Dinner at Tranquil Park Resort, Mt View Road Maleny with an amazing and unbelievable response of over 170 guests.
Representatives from Maleny Police, Ambulance, Rural Fire Brigade, SES, and Hospital Auxiliary spoke briefly about what their organisations had to offer new residents. Maleny Chamber of Commerce was represented and a number of local business owners attended.
Special guest speaker for the evening was local resident Colin Campbell from ABC’s Gardening Australia Show who captivated the audience with his fantastic stand up comedy skills as well as being a gardening guru.
