 | 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."

| Hope for Jobseekers |
 Well we all say goodbye to the year that was 2009, and welcome in the new year. With the new year comes new hope for jobseekers left unemployed from the economic downturn.
Campbell Page Wynnum has started to get the company's name out to the local community. Tony Cordwell and the team at the Wynnum office have been out meeting the local businesses in the region, to better understand the local marketplace and to tailor the training needs to the local market place.
This has lead to the launch of the Give a local a Christmas-New years present they deserve promotion. The campaign was set up firstly to introduce Campell Page to the local community and secondly to assist in the battle to reduce the unemployment rate in the local area.
In the short time Campbell Page managed to get about 20 roles in to the office and secured the future of 20 locally unemployed jobseekers in the region.

| Coast Guard Brisbane |
|
In 2009, Coast Guard Brisbane's contribution to the community has once again saved much property and brought many peple safely home
Coast Guard Brisbane has rescued and assisted some 450 vessels, worth in total nearly $500 million dollars, and helped 446
souls in distress at sea. We’ve devoted over 14,888 hours of volunteer work to the community, and spent
further hundreds of hours of radio watch duty. We’ve had some exceptional support from local businesses
and the community; from Caltex Petroleum Australia to the Manly Chamber of Commerce and the
Moreton Bay Trailer Boat Club’s marine radio watch-keepers at VKQ447. Our Federal member Kerry
Rea and her office manager Mike Nichols have printed our newsletters and supported us with awards,
local State member Paul Lucas has guaranteed our lease, and local councillor Peter Cumming has
assisted us with grants.
Most of all, since Coast Guard is a volunteer organization, the local community
has given us volunteers. Last week, another 16 volunteers passed their Induction and their Elementary
Shipboard Safety Courses, and will be joining Coast Guard rosters in 2010. Indeed we’ve had enough
volunteers this year to create one additional Duty Roster which will begin work in January 2010. Our
Coast Guard flotilla has no regular funding, and is reliant on community help. So, to all those in the
community who have supported our Flotilla in its life-saving volunteer work in 2009:
THANK YOU - YOUR COMMUNITY SUPPORT and FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE IS
VERY MUCH APPRECIATED

| Child Minding at Wynnum Plaza |
 This year Wynnum Plaza is offering a free drop ‘n shop facility for parents shopping in the centre during the busy Christmas period.
The free child minding service will be situated opposite Gloria Jeans, offering parents two hours of undisturbed shopping time between 9am and 3pm, from 11 December until Christmas Eve.
Children must be toilet trained and can spend a maximum of two hours in the play zone, with a total of 25 children at any given time.
Wynnum Plaza Marketing Manager, Danielle Boyle, said the service was another way the Plaza assisted parents over the busy Christmas period.
“We are expecting thousands of customers and local residents to shop in the centre in the lead up to Christmas and our free child minding service will give them the opportunity to do just that – without any interruptions,” Mrs Boyle said.
“Our drop ‘n shop facility is just another way of spreading a little Christmas cheer and giving people more reasons to shop at Wynnum Plaza this year.”
A gift wrapping service will also be available from 11 December by the local Salvos. All money raised will go towards assisting people in need this Christmas.

| Passion for Fashion |
 On Wednesday, December 2nd Babi Youth and Family services held the finale for their Passion for Fashion project, which took place at Wynnum High School Hall.
Local young people had been attending workshops since September to help achieve the runway spectacular.
Emina Ajanovic said, “The project ‘Passion 4 Fashion’ was about working with Wynnum-Manly youth and teaching them skills in fashion design and developing their own collection to be showcased in a big Fashion Show that celebrates young people’s skills, talents and positive contributions they make to their community.”
Local girls, Bec Slinger, 14, and Taylor Parker, 14, had trained for six weeks for the project and said they benefited from the whole process as it has enabled them with new skills that they can use in their futures. The Young people gained skills and experience in fashion design, modeling, hair styling, make-up artistry, photography, filmmaking and event management.
Workshop co-ordinator, Sharnie Pengelly said, “I especially enjoyed getting to know the participants and their individual styles helped mould the different looks we created for the catwalk and photo shoots.”
Taylor Parker said, "It was embarrassing at first because we were practicing our walking out the front and all these people were walking past." Sharnie Pengelly says It may of been embarrassing but these girls now have life skills that they can keep for the rest of their lives."
Babi Youth and Community Services would like to thank the following sponsors; Wynnum High School, Simply me and Brisbane City Council.

| Lota Camping Reserve |
|
The Brisbane City Council will be spending $2.5 million to upgrade the main park on Lota Esplanade over the next couple of years. The park is known as Lota Camping Reserve as camping was allowed there many years ago. An information session will be held on Saturday the 12th of December from 10am to 12.30pm at the park. I urge all local residents to attend and view the plans for the proposed upgrade. My suggestion is to ask for modern style gym fitness equipment and a flying fox like Colmslie beach as part of the upgrade. Lota residents should have received a feedback newsletter but anyone else wanting one can collect one from my office.
