The Rotary Club of Noosa has been busy making life-saving contributions to the community, with their latest donation set to support visitors of the Katie Rose Cottage Hospice.
Noosa Rotary president Gerald Victor said the SES and Katie Rose Cottage Hospice are great examples of the community working in tune together.
“It gave us great satisfaction to present defibrillators to the SES, and Katie Rose Cottage Hospice,“ he said.
“This is what the Rotary Club of Noosa does in the community to support organisations that do so much for us all in our times of need.
“The Noosa Rotary club is made up of everyday people who get together have fun, and at the same time provide much needed assistance to many organisations around us.“
Area Controller for SES (State Emergency Services for the Sunshine Coast) Warren Kuskof said that this donation from rotary would play a valuable role in the work that they do each and every day.
“This defibrillator would be stationed at the Boreen Point depot for use in the local community,“ he said.
Katie Rose Cottage Hospice chairperson Carol Raye said the hospice’s journey to service has been very rapid and continues due to the hard work of the team and volunteers and most specifically due to support received from the local community.
“Our community should be very proud of their Hospice it is indeed a unique place,“ Carol said.
“Individuals and groups such as Noosa Rotary, who support Katie Rose Cottage Hospice are much appreciated and we recognise the importance of this kind of community support.
“None of what we have achieved could have happened without strong community support and we thank Noosa Rotary for the most recent donation of a defibrillator to support the staff, family members and visitors to the facility.
“I have the privilege of leading the incredible team of paid, and volunteer staff, and they are all absolutely passionate about serving those who come to us at the end of their journey. They’re a special bunch of amazing people dedicated to providing the best care possible. “
Rotary Noosa meets at the Tewantin RSL Club every second Monday at 6pm. If you are looking to join, contact Tess Alexandroff on 0407377210.
