www.esaaustralia.org September 2016 President Grace Hurst ESA Australia QLD State Council & Members Newsletter The weather has been a little wet up here. Some places have had heavy rain. So, a big Hello from the soggy Whitsundays. Recently our Honorary member, Linda Taylor invited us to a Mad Hatters Party. Her husband Rogin (the Mad Hatter) drove four members from the Community Centre in a limousine to the event. There were a few very creative hats on view. We surprised new member Ivy Hickman with a cake for her birthday. I have been very busy, not only with ESA but with other things and may now have to go up to Townsville to help out my son for a few months. So, if I do not respond to emails quickly please give me a bit of time. I want to thank Carmel for the wonderful job she is doing with the Queenslander and I hope that all members contribute to this publication as it is only what goes in that makes it great. Daffodil Day is now upon us this week so everyone, get busy for this worthwhile event. Just to keep us busy are our State Cancer Art Union tickets to be sold. I hope they are selling well for all Branches. In mentioning this, I would like to remind Branches that if there is anything they know of, cancer related, in their area (or nearby) then please put a submission in a letter with support information to State Council for the amount needed. I hope everyone is thinking of coming to Half-Yearly in Rockhampton. I am sure that Alpha Rho members are planning a great time of fun, fellowship and sharing ideas while keeping our bonds of friendship going. Remember to send any issues to State that you would like to have raised at Half Yearly. I am sure Judy Jesshope will soon be asking for all those reports. Our Conferlink on 1 st August went well with much discussion on several matters. There will be more from this at Half Yearly. Until next time, keep up the good work and remember to have fun while working.

Daffodil Day 2016 Thirty years after the Daffodil Day fundraiser for the Cancer Council began, the media release for 2016 Daffodil Day alerts the community to its latest innovation Text to donate to Cancer Council this Daffodil Day want to provide a new and more personal way for Australians to show their support. However, ESA branches will continue to volunteer for the physical sale of daffodils and merchandise at stalls around the various shopping centres and streets of their local areas, and this year, they have once again answered the call. Lyn and Elizabeth from Alpha Pi with armloads of daffodils and bears The release goes on to explain Cancer Council is encouraging Australians to text to donate and dedicate a daffodil to support Australians impacted by cancer for this year s Daffodil Day (Friday, 26 August). From 5 July, for the first time, Australians will be able to use their phones or head online to dedicate a virtual daffodil to someone they know. Selected dedications will then be chosen to feature in the campaign. All Australians need to do is text HOPE to 1999 8877 and a $5/sms* donation will automatically be incorporated into their mobile bill a follow-up text message will enable Australians to personalise and share their daffodil dedication. Daffodil dedications will also be available via Facebook and on the Daffodil Day website (daffodilday.com.au). Cancer Council Australia CEO, Professor Sanchia Aranda, said Cancer Council was one of the first charities in Australia to enable supporters to donate via text, an initiative made possible thanks to the Telco Together Foundation and the Text Giving Working Group, who selected Cancer Council s Daffodil Day as a pilot program for their premium SMS Mobile Giving Project. Daffodil Day is one of Cancer Council s most well-known fundraising events, Professor Aranda said. We Alpha Rho ladies ready for customers. Sheila, Val, Margaret, Alba and Frances from Beta Omicron have their stall set up and ready for sales With the daffodil being the flower chosen by ESA as its floral emblem, and with the ESA commitment to assisting in a range of fundraising events supporting research for a cure along with care for sufferers, involvement in Daffodil Day is but a natural progression, and all Queensland branches include Daffodil Day in their philanthropic calendar. 2
CHAPLAIN/JONQUIL REPORT Olive Thompson Hello, everyone. How are you all? As no messages have been received, I ll take it for granted that all is well with everyone. You really must have taken my advice and dodged the flu bug. Everything is going OK with Alpha Rho sisters but our American sisters have not been so lucky. According to their Chaplain s report there has been such a lot of sickness and ill health, including broken bones. We just thank God we are fine here in Australia. If you find a path with no obstacles, it likely leads nowhere.

Love in ESA, Olive Thompson ESA Australia Chaplain ESA STATE CHAPLAIN/ JONQUIL Olive Thompson E-mail olivetthompson@bigpond.com Sherry Day Greetings from Arizona! In the US, it is fall. It is the time for football and back to school and in many parts of the country, the leaves on trees start to turn yellow and orange. It is a signal that the summer is over and winter is just around the corner. In ESA we are beginning a new year and there are many exciting things that are happening. September is the month of Childhood Cancer Awareness and how fitting that in this month we have the St. Jude Walk/Run on September 24. Everyone can participate even if there is not a walk in your location, as there is a virtual walk that you can join to help support this great cause. In just a couple of weeks the IC Executive Board will meet for their annual retreat to formulate plans for the year ahead. We had a great planning meeting for next year s Convention in St. Louis, Missouri and it will be another exciting week in ESA. I hope some of you may be able to be with us for this Convention. And speaking of Convention, I am beginning to put together the trip to see and be with you for your Convention next April. I have 12-14 people that will be traveling with me and I know we will have a great time together. October is recruitment month for membership. Start making your plans now and let s have a good month of bringing in new people to enjoy a good time and do great work for others. Remember the big dream for membership this year is to have net growth. It will take each one of us doing our part to make it happen but I know we can do it. Remember, all our dreams can come true if we have the courage to pursue them. Dream Big! Always, Sherry Day I C President 3
Marianne Steenstsma Snapshot of ESA Membership - Part 3 State Vice President 2016-2017 Dear Sisters, I am still overseas, but in the next newsletter I will finish my Snapshot of my ESA Membership. Mariannne About eight of their staff members joined Linda and Rogin to entertain us with a play of Alice s adventures featuring the main characters from the book. They dressed accordingly and explained the story as they acted out their roles. Members won prizes when they could answer Convention 2017 The Kallangur Tavern is the venue for our 2017 Convention. Check out the Tavern at www.kallangurtavern.com.au. More details and costs for the Convention and the accommodation will be available at Half- Yearly. Branch Education Reports Lyn Buckley QLD State Education Officer Branch: Alpha Epsilon Proserpine Education Officer: Robyn Creighton (report by Pat Burns in Robyn s absence) Yearly Theme: Learning is forever Topic of this Program: Mad Hatter s Tea Party What a wonderful social and education programme we had for August! We were invited to a Mad Hatter s Tea Party at Taylorwood Resort. Four of our lucky members were driven to Taylorwood by Rogin Taylor in his Rolls Royce. The Alice in Wonderland theme was promoted by Linda and Rogin Taylor, our hosts for the day. Pat with the Mad Hatter questions about the story. We enjoyed a beautiful luncheon of sandwiches, sweet treats, drinks and Rogin s home-made ice cream. Alice s Adventures. Alice s Adventures in Wonderland was originally banned in China and other parts of the world because some people objected to the animal characters being able to use human language. They felt this put animals on the same level as humans. In 1900 Alice in Wonderland was suspended from classroom use, pending review because the novel contains expletives, sexual content and derogatory characterizations of a teacher, and of religious ceremonies. More recently, it became controversial because of what some people thought were drug references. For example, Alice meets a caterpillar sitting on a mushroom. Even though it was written as a book for children, it is complicated and has many ironic twists and puns that might not be understood by a child. This is why some people over-reacted to the book and wanted it banned. It is rumoured that the author, Lewis Carroll was the tutor of Alice and her two sisters and had an unhealthy interest in Alice. It is also believed he himself sought the pleasures of the magic mushrooms. We learnt many interesting facts about the story and thoroughly enjoyed our Mad Hatter s Party. We all wore decorated hats to partake in the theme of the day. It was great fun. 4
Grace, Ann & the White Rabbit Eight members were able to attend. Three gave apologies as they had prior engagements. Everyone agreed it was an enjoyable and educational social day. Branch: Alpha Pi - Redcliffe Education Officer: Leone Ryan Yearly Theme: Women s Safety Topic of this Program: Safety in the Home On August 18, Alpha Pi held an open meeting in the Function Room at Kallangur Tavern with Guest Speakers, Fiona and Estrella from Caboolture who spoke on issues surrounding domestic violence, and support services available to domestic violence victims. We were taught how to make a Wine Glass Holder that fits over a bottle of wine. Most of us have never used an Electric Drill or a Saw, but the staff were very helpful and certainly put us on the right track. It was very interesting and educational night, and enjoyed by all who attended. Judy and Fay busy with a saw and a drill. Debbie and Hayley hard at work under a watchful eye. Frances, Liz, and Alison with Estrella and Fiona The figures are astounding in our area. Only a very small percentage (around 3 %) of perpetrators of domestic violence will not reoffend. The cycle keeps going, with the victims usually thinking that this time will be the last as he s going to change. One lovely service available when the victim leaves the home and gets another residence, is from a group who go in and furnish and decorate the house, supplying everything new linen, crockery, cutlery, etc. It was a very interesting and informative talk. Branch: Alpha Rho Education Officer: Judy Joy Topic of this Program: Bunnings Workshop A very interesting Education Night was held at Bunnings Warehouse this Month with 9 members attending. Branch: Beta Omicron, Sunnybank Education Officer: Alba Mason Yearly Theme: I m Still Learning Topic of this Program: Miss Fisher s Display On 7 th August, members visited Old Government House to see Miss Fisher s Murder Mystery Costume Exhibition. A fascinating display featured 50 costumes, props and furniture from the popular ABC television series. As avid followers of the series we just loved the clothes and accessories. So feminine. The Designer, Marian Boyce, owns a wonderful collection of jewellery and a vast collection of bags - which we hear is still growing - used during the series. 5
We had a try on session, yes, there is a dress-up room. Photos show us in our finery. Members thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition and it was worthwhile going to see. down and play ladies. We won a few very nice prizes and enjoyed the company of our lovely local Seniors. Susan, Ann & Pat show their prizes Pat Burns Branch Reports Alpha Epsilon Our members have had a few lovely outings in August. Firstly, on the 17 th, our social/education programme was a Mad Hatter s party at the local tourist resort, Taylorwood. The theme was Alice in Wonderland, and we learnt many interesting facts about the story and the author, Lewis Carroll. We all wore our Mad Hats and enjoyed a delicious lunch and great company. Our hosts were Rogin and Linda Taylor, who run the resort. Rogin picked up four of our members and drove them to the party in his Rolls Royce. Pat M, Anne, Pat B, Ivy Grace and Susan enjoy playing ladies. A few of us met at the Proserpine Community Centre on Thursday 25 th to prepare our daffodils and merchandise in readiness for Daffodil Day. On Daffodil Day, Friday the 26 th, we had three sites: one in Proserpine, one at Airlie Beach, and one at Cannonvale. All three sites had a very successful day. A GREAT effort to support the Cancer Council. Our next major event will be the selling of our annual linen hamper raffle tickets. The raffle was launched at the Arts and Craft EXPO in July, so members will be rostered on to continue ticket selling. This is always a popular raffle. We extend our best wishes to Bob Miller, Rae s husband, who is in hospital after a fall which resulted in a fractured hip. We hope Bob recovers soon. Well, that s it for now. Cheers from Pat Alpha Pi Carmel Mulcahy We surprised Ivy with a birthday cake. On the 19 th we attended a Seniors Week morning tea, hosted by our local MP, Jason Costigan. We helped to organise and serve the tea and coffee, but those of us who are seniors did have time to sit Hello from sunny Redcliffe, as we move through the final days of Winter and prepare to welcome Spring. We have had some lovely showers lately which have greened the grass and enlivened gardens. Alpha Pi has been busy all month with education and social opportunities. 6
We held the second of our open education meetings at Kallangur Tavern on August 18, with a poor attendance, unfortunately, but that did not dim the enthusiasm of our presenters. Then several members had a glam outing, admiring and modeling various pieces of elegant clothing from the Miss Fisher s Murder Mysteries TV series. They reveled in the information about the designer s skill in seeking out just the right fabric for each item and in seeing the fine detail in stitching and finish of each garment, unlike so many costumes which are for short term use. And, of course, Alpha Pi always does lunch! Alpha Rho Annette Wisnewski Hi from the shakiest place in Australia Mackay. Some of us up here had the earth move in a way we haven t felt ever before. I am sure that most of you have heard about our 5.8 Earthquake that happened in August. Luckily none of our sisters suffered any injuries or damage in their homes as a result. But it does make you think have we been a bit slack on the fundraising side of things and I must say that for the Alpha Rho sisters that answer is no. We have been busy as always. We will rebuild. Members volunteered once again at the Daffodil Day Stall at Northlakes Shopping Centre, and met more amazing people in the course of each day, many of whom have been touched by Cancer in some degree. This is such a worthwhile exercise for the Cancer Council, as they celebrate 30 years of Daffodil Day, but also for those who volunteer. We are now in the final stages of preparation for our annual Fashion Parade. Models have been selected, fittings arranged, and all details will be finalized at Thursday night s meeting. And, as if we were not busy enough, we have a Bunnings BBQ the day before the Fashion Parade. Oh well, they say when you want something done, ask a busy woman!! Until next time Carmel Late News: Elizabeth has had an unfortunate incident with one of her dogs and is in hospital needing a skin-graft on her shin. We wish her well for a speedy recovery. Earthquake of August 18 th at 2.30pm approx. The girls have been selling our meat raffle tickets on Friday nights at the Shamrock Hotel and of course, some nights are better than others. We have also been busy with the Care Kitchen students and their activities every Thursday. Our big event this month was the Sarina Show. It was fairly well attended with our sisters keeping busy selling lucky envelopes and art union tickets. Presently the sisters are selling daffodils and other products for Daffodil Day for the Cancer Council. We have a few things lined up for September and October and we are on the countdown to Christmas. Getting our bows and gift tags made in our spare time ready for the Christmas Wrapping time. Well that is about it for now, Signing off from shaky (once in a lifetime) Mackay Annette 7
Hello ESA sisters, Beta Epsilon Jane Stebhens It is great to be back. My family and I had a fabulous time living in the outback. Everyone should have the opportunity to live this lifestyle at least once in their lives. Our teenage sons thought that their throats were going to be cut having to move out west, however after 6 months, they did not want to return. They had had such a wonderful time living free and easy fishing, camping, motorbike riding, travelling with mates for footy games and just being kids like the good old days. It is great to be home but I know we will always treasure our time out west. Meanwhile I haven t caught up with Jan Tobin yet as she is cruising the seas of the Caribbean. She popped into Hawaii first and is now enjoying some time on a luxury liner. We had a lovely prospective member attend our meeting. We hope that Pearl enjoyed our company and would like to continue as a member. Sharyn is helping out at the Tackle World Bundaberg Annual Garage Sale this weekend. Sharyn is in charge of the sausages. Relay for Life and the Dump Truck Pull are on in town this weekend life is never dull in Gin Gin. Until next time, enjoy the last of the cool weather bring on the heat I say. Jane Beta Omicron Val Files Ticket selling dates and venues for the State raffle have been organised, and selling has commenced. We have dates later on at the local shopping centre in October as well. Alba will be reporting on an interesting Educational we had to Old Government House on Wednesday, 14 August. Margaret Kortbaek is heading off to Borneo in mid- September with another Probus group, and is sure to have a great time. Val and Jack are heading to Copenhagen on 28 August, and then cruising the Baltic until the end of September. We are also planning our Annual Fashion Parade on 19 th October. A flyer is attached to the newsletter if any local members are planning on attending. Our key date for August coming up is Daffodil Day, and our sisters are set up and ready to sell daffodils and merchandise. It has been a sad time lately, with the passing of Ellen Langtree. Bonnie Spratt s husband, Barry, and Janis Wood s father. Beta Omicron members pass on their sympathy. Beta Omicron hosted the SEQDC meeting on Thursday, 4 August, where our Guest Speaker was Carlie Nielsen, the winner of the Dorothy Banks Bursary. Nielsen and Val. Until next time, Val Kathy Cavanagh Barbie Hartigan.

program continue to trickle in every couple of weeks. Networking Event Held on 16 th August, the participating organisations - ESA, Quota, Soroptimists, Carers Qld, Older People Speak Out and other NCWQ affiliates - had the opportunity to showcase their activities and programs. Representatives spoke about their individual organisations with Lyn Buckley speaking about ESA. The evening also included On The Couch Conversations - a panel discussion on the Queensland Women s Strategy Where we will be in 50 years? How will we get there? It was a great evening with lots of discussion about women, family and community issues. It is to be hoped that the function enabled synergy of efforts between different organisations to maximise effectiveness. The Umbrella role of NCWQ is one we value. Conference and AGM This is our next event on 6 th September. We look forward to hearing from the two guest speakers Barbara Shaw, Executive Director, Office for Women & Domestic & Family Violence Reform, Dept of Communities and Kathryn Cramp, currently from the Queensland Indigenous Family Violence Legal Service.

I love where I live. (Alpha Pi area compiled by Carmel Mulcahy) Redcliffe Peninsula, a battle-axe shaped peninsula with Woody Point at its south and Scarborough Point at the north, is located on the edge of Moreton Bay and is so named because of its dramatic red cliffs easily visible from passing boats. The Redcliffe Jetty Map shows the peninsula with Central Business District of Redcliffe highlighted. It is Queensland s First Settlement City, chosen as the ideal place for a new northern convict settlement in the early days of colonisation of Australia. Regrettably, the group which arrived in September 1824 found insufficient fresh water to support the settlement, so a year later, they moved 17 miles to the banks of the Brisbane River and so began the development of Queensland s capital city, Brisbane. The huts they had constructed at Redcliffe were abandoned and left empty. The local Aborigines named them humpy (house) bong (dead/empty) and the name Humpybong remains, denoting an area between Margate and Woody Point. Each year in September, the area celebrates Redcliffe Festival incorporating Kite Fest, Jetty Fiesta, Redcliffe Remembers - a re-enactment of the first landing and a Beach Party. Early Redcliffe quickly gained a reputation as a seaside resort - offering a seaside Redcliffe Jetty by artist d'arcy Doyle experience similar to many of the holiday favourites in England, and growing numbers of people were lured to Redcliffe to enjoy its safe, sandy, sheltered beaches. and beaches today. The original 2.8 kilometre Hornibrook Highway, then the longest wooden bridge in the southern hemisphere, linked Redcliffe with Brisbane, opening in 1935, and allowing more people to experience the magic of Redcliffe. This resulted in significant population increases, leading to today s modern city that still possesses the charm and beauty of a small seaside holiday town. The area is now linked by twin three-lane bridges, one with a bike and pedestrian lane, and a new rail line is about to commence operation. Housing ranges from tiny seaside cottages to elaborate million dollar canal-frontage homes and increasing numbers of high-rise apartments. The city is serviced by a variety of child care centres, ten primary, six secondary schools, and a technical college, with a university at nearby Petrie to be established in coming years. It has a modern public hospital, as well as a private hospital serviced by top specialist doctors from Brisbane, along with many local general practitioners. 11
At a recreational level, there are drama and music groups, a new art gallery and dance studios for all ages. Sport is prominent with thriving netball, soccer, hockey, baseball, Rugby League, Australian Football, little athletics, tennis clubs, Pop group, the Bee Gees who grew up in Redcliffe, began their career while still young boys in 1959 at the local Speedway entertaining crowds from the back of a truck during the interval. Hence Redcliffe became the birthplace of the Bee Gees. A tribute walkway is popular with visitors. Redcliffe has a thriving café culture with venues offering fine dining, right through to very casual family experiences, and outdoor settings. (Photos courtesy of Trip Advisor) and harness racing, as well as a multitude of water sports swimming, sailing, jetskiing, stand-up paddle boarding, waterskiing and more. Jetski State Titles The Peninsula has become a popular destination for daytrippers from Brisbane and surrounds. At weekends and public holidays, crowds throng to beaches and First Settlement Lagoon, a man-made recreation area, and to join whale-watching tours from the end of the Redcliffe Jetty.
