A LOCAL community hall has received a much-needed kitchen, thanks to the generosity of a local business.
The Memorial School of Arts Hall in Reserve Street Pomona has had a kitchen makeover, courtesy of Bunnings Hardware Stores.
An enthusiastic team from the Noosaville and Gympie branches headed up by Bunnings’ Activity Organisers Siobhan Grey from Noosaville and Elaine King from Gympie spent two and a half days transforming the kitchen from a tired unfriendly space into a modern and functional kitchen.
The hall is an integral part of the Pomona community. On any week it is home to karate, indoor bowls, ballroom dancing, worship, zumba and yoga as well a venue for weddings, schools and the Antique and Collectibles fair.
President of the Hall Committee Christine Harmon said that there was constant demand on the kitchen and that it was important that it met contemporary standards of hygiene and convenience.
“This new donated kitchen, together with updated appliances purchased by the Hall Committee means that the kitchen meets both of these standards,” she said.
“We must also thank Brian O’Connor of Pomona for his initiatives and support in getting this project off the ground.”
