A Word from Sally
Hello Everyone,
Happy half way mark 2021 everyone! We are now going into winter and I hope you are
all keeping warm. We recently celebrated the Biggest Morning Tea. Everyone had a great time,
and there were some wonderful prizes in our mini cent sale. Pictured below is some of our
participants enjoying a game of “Throw the coin in the teapot”. Thanks to everyone that
attended, we had a fun day and raised some money for cancer research.
Our walking group every Tuesday morning is going strong. We have had lots of lovely
walks around the district, and everyone has enjoyed the outings. For something different we
will be heading off to the Drayton Cemetery on Tuesday the 15th of June for a tombstone tour.
This is one of the many walks that are available in Toowoomba Regional Council area. If you
would like to join us please contact the centre, you can either meet at the cemetery or catch
the bus from the centre. Bookings are needed, but everyone is welcome to come along. For
more information on the walk go to this link

Covid Vaccine
Vaccines have been one of the biggest success stories in modern
medicine
Thanks to vaccines, we have been able to control and eradicate numerous
infectious diseases around the world
Here are some examples of the diseases we have been able to control. Let's
add COVID-19 to the list!
