At the TOS planning meeting on 14 June, members decided to support the following international projects with donations in 2008.
Support for homeless women We are continuing our support for women at the New Farm refuge who are moving into long-term housing. This year we are collecting non-perishable groceries. One of our members, Robyn Rizzo, has compiled a week’s menu of simple, healthy meals, together with recipes and a shopping list. We are providing this booklet with bags of groceries from the shopping list to get the women off to a good start. So far we have delivered six bags of groceries and kitchen items to the refuge.
Here’s where our help can come in again. If you would like to donate some grocery items for the next bags being delivered, please ask Lynette Muller or Astrid Arunachalam about what is needed. Most items on the list cost from $1 to $3. Your support for this project will not only help a woman get through her first week in her new accommodation, but will show her how she can eat healthily on a budget.
We are helping to reclaim an old factory site at Moorhen Flats Reserve, corner of Deshon Street & Turbo Drive, Wooloongabba. We meet on the 1st Saturday of every month from 2 to 5pm. Remaining dates in 2008: 6 Sep, 4 Oct, 1 Nov.
A leaflet with a map is available on the TS hallway table and on the Brisbane Lodge website TOS pages. Below you see a group busy planting.
Action on climate changeService to our environment is one of the focuses of the TOS internationally and our TOS group initiated this major project in 2007. A steering group has gathered information and developed a brochure on personal actions that each of us can take to minimise our energy and water usage. You can download a copy of our brochure here.
