Inductions

Welcome to Peter Davis - raffle winner, bi-polar supporter and pharmacist.

It was also a chance for President Judy to give a cheque from the Club to Peter’s support group.

and Trevor Gilliland - from Caloundra Law, ex RYLA and Dicky Beach resident

Speaker
Stuart introduced Maddie then did a quick getaway

Maddie runs SCILS to support girls and thanked the Club for its support of the program.

“Stay Calm” - there are two sides to these troubled girls, anger & darkness, but also light moments.

In her girls group, she sees some of the darkness receding.

They went horse riding two weeks ago - “how big they are”.

A visit to Maddie’s parents in NSW was a recent highlight. They had no phone reception which is a good start to relax and refresh. They experienced “what a family looks like”. They visited Maddie’s “favourite spot” at sunset, and McIntyre Falls.

Maddie loved seeing them relax, and they couldn’t stop talking about the trip.
