time to gloat!

My day job is as a public relations and marketing consultant. My longest standing client is an aged care facility in Brisbane that I have a very big soft spot for.

This picture is of a book I published in celebration of Queenslands 150th Birthday and Trinder Parks 40 years of service. The sculpture by well known Queensland sculptor Kate French is of Arthur (Pop) Trinder who was the original donor of the land to the Lutheran Church back in the 60s.

The book is a compilation of more than 50 memoirs of residents, former residents, members of the community and community leaders within the Logan district.

The publication was sponsored by the Q150 Grant round and the event by Trinder Park and Lutheran Community Care. More than 100 people attended the celebration including State Member for Woodridge, Desley Scott and Councillor Russell Lutton. The original Matron of Trinder Park from the days of the doors opening in 1969 Judith Rose (Weppner) also was in attendance.

Other than having a bad (first time in four years) bout of the flu the day was fantastic!
