A Christmas Day lunch is being co-hosted this year by Noosa MP Sandy Bolton, the Noosa Coolum Salvos and Making Lives Matter, along with a wonderful band of merry elves.
The team includes Tony Crossin who once more will be creating the festive fare, and of course entertainment and Santa.
Sandy’s family, including partner Shoey, granddaughter Vivienne and furry kid, Bear, will be celebrating with fellow Noosans who are flying solo, and she is looking forward to the usual traditions, including the bon bon battle which continues to elude her.
“We have an incredible, loving and selfless community, with an enormous heart. I am always in awe of how everyone pulls together to make Christmas special, including Santa’s Classy Helpers, the Womenkind Giving Tree and Noosa Council’s Santa Road trip,” Sandy said.
“To assist in hosting this lunch is a joy, with new friendships made amongst genuine care for each other. No one should ever spend Christmas day alone, so please join us for a complimentary lunch and some merry cheer on Christmas Day,” Sandy said.
Matthew Gluyas is the Mission Leader at Noosa Coolum Salvos and is working with Sandy and Making Lives Matter on delivering this lunch for the community.
“One thing I love about Noosa is the incredible sense of community. We were made for community; not to be isolated. It breaks my heart when I think that people would spend Christmas Day alone. Please know that there is a seat for you at the table, a beautiful team led by the amazing Sandy Bolton ready to welcome you and maybe even a visit from the big guy in red. You would be most welcome this Christmas Day,” Matt said.
The lunch will be held at 6 Bartlett Street, Noosaville from 11.30am on 25 December. As spaces are limited, please book early.
