The Rockhampton Men’s Shed is grateful for the assistance from Rockhampton Building Approvals for their assistance with the preparation of the submission to council of our building approval for our new buildings to be constructed at the CQ University Campus.
Our Support to The Rockhampton Disabled Horse-riders Association: Jim Lawler (the leading manager at the Rocky Men’s Shed) presents a cheque to a representative of the Rockhampton Disabled Horse-riders Association. The donation was a result of proceeds from the sale of food at the Big BBQ Bruch event held last month (August).
The Rockhampton Disabled Horseriders Association was the Rockhampton Men’s Shed’s nominated charity on that day.
Everything is moving along significantly with the erection of the first Shed, which will be a work area for woodwork and metal works. Building and Compacting is due to commence within the next week or so. When this is completed the Concreter will move in.
As everything moves to plan – allocating ourselves onto the new Shed is getting closer. These are exciting times for our members and for the community as well.
The organisation has been successful in winning some grants; namely from the Community Benefits Fund, which will go towards the next Slab (Cement Foundation). Benefits from the Rockhampton Region Council will help with our first Shed. Many thanks towards these two organisations for the grants.
Last week saw the success of the BBQ event that showcased many exhibitions from many other Shed organisations around the region. With that success the Ladies Auxiliary must also be thanked in helping with the preparation.
Their display of artistic ceramic ornaments showcased the talent involved in implementing certain Ceramic crafts. let’s not forget their do diligence in helping with fundraising.
Which is why they will have their own separate section of the new Shed. The section will house many of their works; (paintings, ceramics), which will be for sale at the premise. Which can also be found at the shop (products) section of our website.
If you would like to be a member of our Ladies Auxiliary; please phone 049 722 1121 for more information.
Some senior citizens are being criticized for the present deficiencies of our modern world; real or imaginary, present or past, foreign or domestic.
We take responsibility for all our actions and omissions; we do not try to blame others for our past imperfections, ignorance or failures.
Our generation saved the World from Fascism, Communism, and Racism, while we raised the Standard of Living, Health Care, and Life Expectancy.
HOWEVER, upon reflection, we would like to point out that it was NOT senior citizens who took:
The melody out of music,The pride out of appearance,
The courtesy out of driving,
The romance out of love,
The commitment out of marriage,
The responsibility out of parenthood,
The togetherness out of the family,
The learning out of education,
The service out of patriotism,
The Golden Rule from rulers,
The civility out of behavior,
The refinement out of language,
The dedication out of employment,
The prudence out of spending,
And we certainly are NOT the ones who eliminated patience and tolerance from personal relationships, and interactions with others on a face to face basis!!
And, we DO understand the meaning of patriotism, and remember those who have fought and died for our country.
YES, I’M A SENIOR CITIZEN…!!
I’m the life of the party . . . even if it lasts until 8 p.m.
I’m very good at opening childproof caps . . . With a hammer.
I’m awake many hours before my body allows me to get up.
I’m smiling all the time, because I can’t hear a thing you’re saying.
I’m sure everything I can’t find is in a safe secure place, somewhere.
I’m wrinkled, saggy, lumpy, and that’s just my left leg;
but I haven’t made my skin look like wall paper or snake skin.
My ears, nose, tongue, or naval haven’t been pieced with metal rings.
I’m beginning to realize that aging is not for wimps.
Yes, I’m a SENIOR CITIZEN, and I think I am having the time of my life!
Now if I could only remember who sent this to me, I wouldn’t send it back to them.
Or, maybe I should send it to all my friends anyway.
They won’t remember, even if they did send it.
OUR NEW SHEDS – a further update on our new shed – we are currently awaiting the delivery of soil to the land – once this happens, compacting will be done and our first shed can be ordered. Everyone is excited as we near this very important step.
If you have noticed a change in our Website and Facebook presentation and like the new setup, our thanks go to MK Designs for the wonderful work that is being done to make our site welcoming to you, our readers. I’m sure Mike would like some feedback as to your thoughts on the new presentation.
