The Elton John Experience

The Elton John Experience evening on Saturday 24th August 2024, held at Matthew Flinders Anglican College, Buderim was a huge sell-out success. This event raised $23,446 for our beneficiary, endED House of Hope.

The stage was set by the Matthew Flinders Ensemble who showed that our youth have class and then Greg Andrew proved that he really is a masterful entertainer, wowing the audience with his talent and faithful renditions of Elton John classics.

The beneficiary of the event was endED House of Hope and at the close of the evening endED founders Mark & Gay Forbes expressed their gratitude to Mooloolaba Rotary, Sunshine FM and the sponsors of the event for their efforts in raising the much needed funds to upgrade the House of Hope. The upgrade is needed to meet new classification requirements arising from the increasing demand from community groups using the House of Hope facilities.

It is a privilege for our club to be able to support such a worthy community organisation and assist it to deliver its much needed essential support to people suffering from eating disorders

Many thanks to our media partner Sunshine FM, our major sponsors Kimberley Kampers, MIB Insurance Brokers, Gold Leaf Constructions, I Love Turf and Innovative Planning Solutions and all the other sponsors of auction items, door and raffle prizes,

Our thanks also to the Matthew Flinders Anglican College and our various donors for their support - and of course to the patrons who attended the event - a most enjoyable evening.

"Bakslap" Skin Check

Bakslap, a local company that invented and markets the “Bakslap Lotion Applicator”. is keen to promote and educate people on sun safety awareness. Learn more about their story HERE.

Mooloolaba Rotary was delighted to support Bakslap in their first free skin check for the public on the Sunshine Coast 14-16 July 2024.

Here’s the message we received from Bakslap after the event:

“Dear Mooloolaba Rotary team,

Thank you again for supporting the Skin Check Truck initiative. Here are the results:

Sunday 14th (Alex SC): 212 checks
Monday 15th (Alec SC): 203 checks
Tuesday 16th (UniSC): 217 checks
In total, 76 suspect spots were identified, with the next course of action given to each person.

The Bakslap team will be making this an annual event. We will gladly be in touch when the time comes or if we have another community initiative.

Thank you!

Chinchilla Creative Arts Festival

The major beneficiaries of our Christmas Trailer raffle last December were the farmers out west in urgent need of disaster relief.

The distribution of the funds we donated will be managed by our sister club Chinchilla Rotary who have been supporting thier rural community for many years.

In further support of their efforts a team of 10 or more members of Mooloolaba Rotary will join will travel to Chinchilla and assist in the hosting of their annual Chinchilla Creative Arts weekend, 27-28 April 2024.

Another opportunity to serve our community and have a bit of fun as well.

If you're out that way why not say hello!

endED Connections Cafe Opens 13 March 2024

In late 2023/early 2024 our enthusiastic members led by Roger Wright, and supported by our generous sponsors (see below), completed the conversion of an old garage into the "Connections Cafe.

The "Connections Cafe" was opened on 13 March 2024 and provides a quiet space for families to relax, have a warm drink and socialise with other people facing the same challenges supporting their loved ones coping with eating disorders.

This cafe is also open to other charities and not-for-profits and is proving to be a great addition to the Sunshine Coast.
