Congratulations life members!
Betty and Max Bradley are thrilled with their life membership from CCMT
Cooloola Coast Medical Transport recently presented life memberships to Stan Fender and Betty and Max Bradley.
Betty – a champion fundraiser who still volunteers for the group, said the honour has “really blown us away.”
Max was delighted, “It’s something we never expected. We always thought (CCMT) was a wonderful thing when it started.”
“I did my first drive in 2003, and finished three years ago, when aged 75, and they brought in a maximum driving age.”
CCMT desperately require more drivers. Dedicated volunteers put in approximately 13,700 hours, ensuring residents of the Cooloola Coast are able to get to their non-urgent medical appointments.
President Ian Gibbins said, “We have six cars that are on the road five days – that’s 30 drivers per week. Then some are ill, some have visitors, some go on holidays – you need double that. Some volunteers do two or three drives per week.”
Drivers will need to be under 75 years, have a valid driver’s licence and have a police check that the office will organise, and receive some on-the-job training.
Please note the office is closed for the Christmas break from noon December 16 and January 3, 2017.
