Our TownAs a Poona local there is much on offer and unselfishly supported by our wonderful community volunteers. Take the time to explore our local area and our walking trails, enjoy the exercise and see some of the wonderful flora and fauna on offer. More information on these trails on the above 'Nature Trails' link. There are regular activities at the Hall and include exercise classes, Tai Chi, Yoga, Line Dancing etc. so you are most welcome to join in. If you haven't been yet, come along on a Friday night (from 5 PM) at the hall for a cold ale or a nice wine with great home style cooking and above all enjoy the great company. Hopefully take away one of the prize meat trays. The Poona Community has a proud history of raising funds for worthwhile charities. The 2019/20 financial year saw over $10,000 going to help others in need. This includes Drought Relief ($3,500) to the western Qld town of Alpha, the annual 'Girls Night In' for Cancer Research ($1,800), Fraser Coast Palliative Care ($4,000) and the Unicorn Foundation ($1,370). Then there is the ongoing support to the Sandy Straits Rural Fire Brigade and the Sandy Straits Coast Guard. Follow some of the links for more information on what is happening in our town.

Poona's Young at Heart Group | ||||
  
|
The Poona Community, recognising the issues associated with its ageing population and the lack of supporting medical and allied health services to the town, has come together to form a self help group. It's all about Community Supported Senior Living. The Young at Heart Group is free to join and is open to people of all ages who want to share in a regular get together, morning tea, the opportunity of group outings and the general support which a caring community can provide. There is a dedicated sub-committee formed under the auspices of the Association with Jenny Mason, Lyn Corser and Susan Green working hard to facilitate this wonderful concept. The group meets every second Tuesday of the month at 10 am at the Community Hall. Visitors to Poona are also most welcome, and encouraged, to attend. The sub-committee aims to work with the three tiers of government and the medical and allied health sector to improve services and generally enhance the liveability of seniors in Poona. Things are already starting to take shape with stated support from government representatives. So do take the initial step to come along and have some fun. You will be made very welcome.

PCPA General Meetings |
|
The PCPA holds regular General Meetings at the Centenary Hall so that the Community has the opportunity to be an integral part in setting the direction. The meetings generally commence at 2 PM and the meeting times are broadly advertised on this page, the Facebook page - Poona Community Noticeboard and in the Poona Post. Questions at the meetings are most welcome, however, in line with good meeting procedures the Association requires that proposing any action needs to be in the form of a Motion and Seconded. Ideally any proposals should be raised with the Committee beforehand so that they can be included on the meeting Agenda giving everyone the opportunity to attend the meeting and have input to discussion. The next General Meeting will be at 2 PM on Saturday 14 November 2020. Minutes of the meeting of 10 October 2020 Download The Agenda will be available approx 7 days ahead of the meeting but as indicated at the last meeting the plans relevant to the hall extensions are available for review. These plans will form the basis of a presentation followed by discussion. Download ______________________________
