Our planning committee put on a very successful fashion parade in October. Friends Boutique of Buderim provided the fashions and generously donated their time, expertise and a voucher to add to the many raffle prizes.
Seventy women attended the high tea and parade held in the Function Room at the Buderim Tavern. It was an enjoyable afternoon and a great boost to the sponsorships of our eight Learning For Life students through The Smith Family charity.

Members were impressed with May 2023 Guest Speakers, Julie-Anne Simpson and Susie Warwick from Story Dogs, Julie-Anne and Suzie were accompanied by their adorable dogs, Poppy and Archie who delighted our members.
Story Dogs is a nationwide organisation supported by volunteers who visit schools with their own pet dogs to help children who find reading a challenge. The children respond phenomenally well to the relaxing distraction, and the demand for this charity's help is growing. More volunteers are needed.
