FOR DAYBORO’S FIRST RESPONDERS GROUP

MARK IT IN YOUR DIARY:  Wed 5th March, 6.30pm

See you there – at the Dayboro Ambulance Station!

The Dayboro community will be delighted to know that a Dayboro First Responders Group has been officially approved for the area. First Responders will greatly support the already stretched resources of the local Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) by attending local accidents and medical emergencies to provide life saving first aid until the arrival of advanced medical care. This was the second submission that Chresten Reville (Local Advanced Care Paramedic) and Craig Ferguson (Local Ambulance Committee Member) have presented to the QAS within the last 18 months and this one was more than 6 months in preparation.

LOCAL SUPPORT GROUP RUNS CANCER INFORMATION COURSE

A local branch of Canhelp Australia Wide, a charitable non-profit organization, has been established in the Samford-Dayboro area as a result of the excellent attendance at the presentation by Darryl Jones at the Samford Bowls Club on November 10th 2007.

Darryl and wife Jan, founders of Canhelp Australia Wide were thrilled with the response from so many eager to learn from their years of experience in helping people overcome cancer and other health issues. 

The following morning a meeting was also well attended by people who were willing to establish a group in Samford to learn more about Darryl’s program in order to help others as “Cancer Buddies”.

The first stage in the learning process will be a weekend course on 22/23/24th February 2008 entitled “The Philosophy of Cancer”.  This weekend will be held at Armstrong Creek near Dayboro. (Please note this is not a live-in weekend).

In this course participants will learn about such things as – What is cancer?  What causes cancer? and How to support someone with cancer to help them achieve a positive outcome.

Sessions will be presented by Canhelp Trainers, including Darryl Jones.  Course numbers are limited and bookings are essential.  Please phone Ian Wills (07) 3289 9220 or 0428 188 101 for more information or to secure your position.  Bookings close Friday 15th February. 

Anyone wishing to know more about Darryl’s program can attend a free

DVD showing at Ian & Narelle Wills’ place.  Please ring Ian on 3289 9220 if you would like to see this.

Computers Waiting

Attention all computer Geeks and possible students!   Our U3A is starting very soon, with its ’08 series of low cost, user friendly classes.  We meet generally at Bunya House in Arana Hills . Some courses run from a few days or several weeks spread over a generous time frame so as not to be too "heavy ".  We have had ladies over 90 yrs (young ) attending so all can be catered for generally, providing a very small membership fee and course attendance cost.  Our courses are run by people in your own age group in a friendly and helpful manner – no hard workload .

We hope to start the Dayboro students on Dance exams in Term 4 of this year and would also like to get “Song & Dance” and Drama classes up and running in 2008.

Our Dayboro studio held its Open Day for 2008 at the Dayboro Community Hall on Wednesday 30^th January  We had teachers, students doing demonstrations, uniforms and school information packs were available on the day. 

Recently, our Dayboro Head Teacher – Mrs Karen Mellers – accompanied me and 13 of our students to Melbourne where we chaperoned the students who were attending the Australian Ballet School Summer School. I have attached a photo of Karen with the students (aged 10yrs-17yrs) at the foyer of the Australia Ballet Centre.
