On Friday 17th May, we held our annual โ€œBiggest Morning Teaโ€ for Cancer Council Queensland.

The Committee worked very hard to make sure it was a very successful day. In the kitchen Trish S., Peta, Margaret c., Jan and Marylynne made sure the morning tea was great. A big thank you to Ellen and Christine M for making and donating the Quiche, Geordie and Braden Honnery for the donation of the delightful sausage rolls, Marg P. for donating the lovely array of sweets.

On the door you would have seen Gwenda taking entry money, Peta and Bob Parkes for selling Cent Sale tickets and Number Board Tickets, Del selling Raffle tickets . The Raffles of croquet throws were donated by Eunice Watts and Lola Tickle.

We were pleased to have Andrew Robinson (Our Member for the Council) and Teagan Alloway from Cancer Council Queensland join us and give a small speech.

There was a special prize in our cent sale which came all the way from Paisley, Scotland. A family Member of the Purdonโ€™s sent two parcels of goodies for our Morning Tea. What a thrill it was the receive them. Each person received a Scottish Tea Bag and I'm sure Mandy would have been delighted that we were able to use it as a prize.

Iโ€™m delighted to tell you all that on the day we raised $2,672.35 for Cancer Council Queensland.

They shall grow not old,
as we that are left grow old;
Age shall not weary them,
nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun
and in the morning
We will remember them.

We will remember them
Lest we forget

The ANZAC Day march was over - the old Digger had done his best.
His body ached from marching - it was time to sit and rest.
He made his way to a park bench and sat with lowered head.
A young boy passing saw him - approached and politely said,
"Please sir do you mind if I ask you what the medals you wear are for?
Did you get them for being a hero, when fighting in a war?"

Startled, the old Digger moved over and beckoned the boy to sit.
Eagerly the lad accepted - he had not expected this!
"First of all I was not a hero," said the old Digger in solemn tone,
"But I served with many heroes, the ones that never came home.
So when you talk of heroes, it's important to understand,
The greatest of all heroes gave their lives defending this land.

"The medals are worn in their honour, as a symbol of respect.
All diggers wear them on ANZAC Day - it shows they don't forget."
The old digger then climbed to his feet and asked the boy to stand.
Carefully he removed the medals and placed them in his hand.
He told him he could keep them - to treasure throughout his life,
A legacy of a kind - left behind - paid for in sacrifice.

Overwhelmed the young boy was speechless - he couldnโ€™t find words to say.
It was there the old Digger left him - going quietly on his way.
In the distance the young boy glimpsed him - saw him turn and wave goodbye.
Saddened he sat alone on the bench - tears welled in his eyes.
He never again saw him ever - but still remembers with pride,
When the old Digger told him of Heroes and a young boy sat and cried.

"Not a Hero" - Clyde Hamilton
