 | Wynnum Manly Community Gardens Group Meeting |
 Come to the next meeting of the Wynnum Manly Community Gardens Group Monday 15 March 7pm at Wynnum Manly Leagues Club, Wondall Road. This past month has been SOOO busy and with many achievements: we now have 57 members and a possible site for our organic vegetable garden; we've applied for 6 grants to set up the Garden and Cr Cumming has already given us $300 to help with setup costs including public liability insurance. At the February meeting, a lot of time was spent in small groups planning our program and 5 working groups (called Buds) formed to start planning to establish the garden.
For more information, ring Leigh-Ellen 3901 0485 or Sue 3396 3515

  Life is one great adventure and you have it in the power of your mind to make it the greatest adventure of all time. You only have one life, so it is up to you to make it the best you can. My life has been stupendous and it just seems to keep getting better and better, it is only now that I realize why. It's because I have always had mindset energy – the will and the determination to get up and go.
Our energy determines how we feel, how we think and how we act. These three together make up our attitude. By choosing a positive attitude, you create positive waves of energy, which attract more of the same so your positive choice sets you on the path to a fulfilling, happy and prosperous life.
Dare to Live will help you to realise that you do have choices and you can lead a successful and fulfilling life. Its powerful stories will show you how to make the best choices possible to be able to reach your goals and make your dreams come true.”

| Glory of the Rain Forest |
 The Wynnum Walkers enjoyed another ‘glorious’ day out in the Australian bush, with a walk through the rainforest at Mt Glorious on Brisbane’s north side. Just an hour’s drive out of the city along the meandering highway 680m above sea level, into the mists of the D’Aguilar National Park, the intermittent showers of rain only added to the ambiance of the rainforest, with cooling temperature to what would have otherwise been another hot February day.

| World Day of Prayer 2010 |
On the first Friday of March Christians in more than 170 countries will join together to celebrate the World Day of Prayer with an annual service prepared by a different country each year.
This year Cameroon in Central Africa has chosen the theme “Let Everything That has Breath Praise God”. Cameroonians love to praise God, thanking Him for his greatest gift – life, because if there is life there is hope. They express this in procession, dance and song. The service also invites us to learn more about life in Cameroon and the beauty of the land.
Everyone is welcome at Bayside Uniting Church, 420 Wondall Road, Manly West, on Friday 5th March at 10.30am. Music will be presented by the Moreton Bay College Primary Singers and the Bayside Church Ladies Choir. Guest speaker is the Rev Gwen Fisher. This will be followed by morning tea. More information phone Church Office 3890 2392 / 3890 2395.

| Wynnum Walkers Australia Day |
The Wynnum Walkers held a marquee at the festivities at Bandstand Park on Australia day to introduce ourselves to the local community. Wynnum Walkers was started by volunteers in September 2009 and we quickly decided to join the ‘Heart Foundation Walking’ program to promote a healthy lifestyle to the people of the Bayside area. Wynnum Walkers holds regular weekly walks around the Wynnum and Manly suburbs and there is no membership or joining fees hence our motto FITNESS FOR FREE.
It was a great success with signing up over 40 people interested in coming along to our regular weekly evening walks and social dinners, as well as our once a month bush walks for the whole family to join in.
The next bush walk will be up to Mt Glorious on the 21st of February. Mt Glorious is 680m above sea level so the altitude makes the air a bit cooler during the summer months. The walk is an easy-medium grade, approximately 2 hour, 4.5km return journey through mostly shaded bushland. So why not join us for a relaxing day amongst the figs and palms on a bush walk around Mt Glorious in the D’Aguilar National Park.
Check out our website for more details.
Thank you to everyone for your support and taking such an interest in being involved with local community activities.

| Travel the world teaching English |
A new TESOL (Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages) has opened in the region and will commence its first Australian course in Wynnum on Friday January 29th.
There are still some vacancies for this course.
There are many opportunities for TESOL teachers around the world and completing a TESOL course is one of the paths to securing work in this field.
Sue Baker, the Director of the International TESOL College has taught in China and South Korea, and knows that the course will give students an opportunity to learn skills to help them.
Di Hill, who has worked with Sue to develop the course has taught at Zheijiang Yuexiu University of Foreign Languages in Shaoxing, south of Shanghai, and will be returning to the university for four months this year.
"It is a fantastic way to see more of the world and learn at first hand the culture of the country. My experience has been positive and I have developed a great love for China and its people.
It is amazing to spend time in a country with so many people - Shanghai has around 21 million people living there, which of course is around the same as living in the whole of Australia.
Expo 2010 will be in Shanghai and I hope to spend a little time there.
One thing that people often think about this industry is that the TESOL teacher has to know another language. It is helpful when getting around the country, but in class the students speak English. It is the TESOL teacher's job to help them speak and write good English.
I have made many friends as a result of my teaching in China and South Korea. And it is a great way to see a little more of the world."

On the first Thursday of the month after walking the group meets up for a social dinner at one of the local restaurants or cafe's.
As Wynnum Walkers is associated with the 'Heart Foundation Walking' program, the Heart Foundation has a promotion on until the 31st January 2010. Every person who registers online with a friend and logs two walks with the Wynnum Walkers will both receive a FREE Heart Foundation Polo T-Shirt. [while stocks last]
