NOW THE THANK YOU'S

Without our sponsors we could not put on the Mooloolah Anzac Day Dawn Service
So a big shout out to the following organisations!

Mooloolah State School
Without the School allowing us to use the hall for Anzac Day, the event would not have happened as this is the only large enough space now to host it.

Mooloolah Lions
They were our caterers for the event. yes we pay them, but the money also then goes back into the community of Moolooah.

MVCA (Mooloolah Valley Community Association)
As Anzac Day Coordinator I report to the committee and any funding is agreed.
This year, orders of service, technical equipment items, the honour board coreflutes and the provision of tea and coffee and food.

Caloundra RSL Sub Branch
For the donation of funds to support the bacon and egg rolls

Sunshine Coast Council Commemorative Grants Programme
This year the fund was used for head set microphones, which enhanced our audio output.

Sunshine Coast University
Without the support of the UniSC we would not have the loan of the projectors to enable us to portray the service we want to show.

Finally......
Our volunteers who came together is big and small roles to host the event.

FEEDBACK!
We would love you feedback on any suggestions for next years event. Please email Jason at [email protected]

ANZAC DAY 2024

This years Anzac Day will take place at Mooloolah State School.

This has not been an easy decision, as the Mooloolah Public Hall is where the honour boards are located and the heart of the community.

Sadly as many of you will know, we were way over capacity last year in the Hall and also outside. So to avoid disappointment we have come to the logical larger venue.

Don't worry we will be incorporating the honour boards.

Thank you to the committee of the Mooloolah Public Hall for supporting us at last years event.

Plus a big shout out to the school, for allowing us to host the event at the school hall.

Watch this space for how you can reserve a seat if you are a veteran.

Calling all Veterans!
We are looking for any veterans who would like to take part in this years Anzac Day Service.

Please leave your name and telephone number and we will be in touch.
