Hello guys brendan here from Dirty Down Under 4×4 thanks for the fly over on Saturday looks fantastic.

Brendan Gosney - Dirty Down Under 4x4 - https://www.facebook.com/4x4pinkrun/

I just wanted to send a short email to let you know about a wonderful thing that happened over the weekend. I received a message from Liz at Rainbow Beach Fruit, asking if I could meet her as she had some news for me. A local person who who wishes to remain anonymous approached Liz in the fruit shop, to ask how they could go about making a donation to the school’s kitchen garden. Apparently they saw an article in the recent Rainbow Beach Community News and wanted to make a donation of $1,000 …

Dear Michelle and Heatley Our copy of RBCCC News was delivered yester afternoon in Buchanan Avenue, TCB. We usually receive it on last day / first day of the month, well done! Thank you VERY much for our photo and article on page 7, for our advertisement, for referring to World Day of Prayer on March 2 in your editorial, as well as including our event time and location in “What’s On”. Much appreciated! Cheers, many many thanks.

I thank you for all the support your publication has given the organisations I am involved in. I do like the way you have turned my articles into several throughout the paper. I am very appreciative of your ongoing support as free exposure for community issues is hard to get and your paper has been very accommodating to all the organisations and events I am involved in. I thank you deeply. Keep up the good work. Have an awesome day,

Visit Rainbow Beach magazine for New Zealand Hi Michelle and Heatley, Wow, wow and wow! We are very impressed with how the final product looks and feels. This is fantastic. Seeing this text come to life in the finished product has been quite exciting. Thanks for the opportunity for input. Thank you to you and Heatley for being perfectionists and investing so much time in ensuring that our town is presented just the way we want it to be. Your creativity, integrity and professionalism …

This testimonial is long overdue. I’ve used The RBCCCN in my classroom the last couple of years. In the subject History, students write a narrative about how the community remembers a past event. Rainbow Beach has a strong tradition when it comes to ANZAC day. The coverage of this event in the RBCCCN has enabled the class to use it as a source to help write our narratives. Many of our questions are answered by the photo spread, for example: Who attends? Is there a significant site? What a…

Hi Heatley & Michelle, I just wanted to express my heartfelt thanks to you both for your support and professionalism in helping me bring together the Rainbow Beach Cooloola Medical Centre. Without your belief in what I was trying to do, it would have been much harder to achieve such a successful outcome. Your newspaper deserves every accolade! Again, many many thanks.
