Are you up for the challenge?

A NEW year brings with it lots of opportunities and anyone looking for a bit of good karma this year can take the chance to volunteer.
Many local community organisations and groups are looking for volunteers including the Sunshine Coast Riding for the Disabled (RDA) located in North Arm.
The RDA offers a new challenge for anyone who wants to give their time to a worthwhile cause.
RDA is a fast-growing, fast-moving volunteer organisation and they are looking for motivated and reliable people to assist their clients within a range of opportunities in a variety of areas.
Anyone interested in joining the team of committed volunteers can take part in the orientation and induction sessions on Tuesday 31 January from 9am-noon.
Prospective volunteers can meet the RDA team, tour the centre and learn more about how they can help fellow community members.
Participants are asked to wear sun-smart clothing and sensible closed-in footwear. Morning tea will be provided.
Anyone who would like to take part can RSVP to admin@sunshinecoastrda.com or phone 5472 7280.
RDA is located at 2 Monak Road, North Arm, and more information is available at www.sunshinecoastrda.com.
