Comment: the peace and joy of Christmas

Christmas has always been a special time, and it holds some wonderful memories of early years, when youthful exuberance shaped my world, and it’s a time remembered for the happiness of family gatherings and the sound of kids waking early to see what Santa had delivered.

The Mullumbimby Rotary Club and the Lions Club of Brunswick/Mullumbimby recently held a joint annual fund raising night for the Brunswick Nippers – and the result was overwhelming.

As a result of the night, Rotary president Sue Stirton was able to present Nippers president Matt O’Hehir, with a cheque for $2,800 to purchase additional training boards to enhance the skills of the junior lifesavers.

Brunswick Surf Life Saving Club committee members and parents were delighted with the outcome.

‘Support for young Junior Life Saving is important, as these children are the future of Surf Life Saving Australia,’ said spokesperson Helen Carpenter.
