It was wonderful to see another group of young women take to the floor last weekend for their Debutante Ball, a special night that celebrates tradition, elegance and community. The debutantes looked absolutely stunning, and it was a great event. Congratulations to all the debutantes, their partners and families for a memorable evening.
This Friday, I’ll be joining local students and community members in the Stand Up Sleep Out event. We will be braving the cold for an overnight event to raise awareness and support for those in our region doing it tough without a safe place to call home.
The event is part of National Homelessness Week and seeks to spark meaningful conversations about housing insecurity in our own community.
I encourage everyone to get behind this cause by making a donation or showing your support for those taking part. Just one night sleeping rough is a reminder of the hardship faced by too many Australians every single day.
Donations can be dropped off at the Burdekin Shire Council Chambers, Burdekin Library, Home Hill Library, BCA, and the Burdekin Neighbourhood Centre. Monetary donations can also be made by contacting Burdekin Catholic High School on 4783 2366 or by dropping the money into the tins located at the donation points above.
Should you wish to reach out, don’t hesitate to contact me directly by phone at 0447 150 582, or feel free to send an email to mayor@burdekin.qld.gov.au.
