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.

Hi Michelle, I just wanted to say a big thank you for the great picture on the front of this month’s paper. The timing was perfect for us having the review on, but also just to show what a fantastic time people have at the playgroup. We appreciate the support we get from yourself and Heatley each month.

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.

Dear Michelle, On behalf of the Tin Can Bay Fishing Club, I want to thank you for the magnificent way you presented our June monthly update.

Please accept, on behalf of the Club, my sincere thanks for your outstanding work. You rock….as in you’re awesome….not as in you’re a mineral matter of various compositions. ? With thanks, Jon… Read more
