I'll take that accolade and share it with the greatest group of people I know.
Firstly to the Mount Isa Sub Branch of the RSL.
It was a great honour to work with you.
I am truly delighted that our combined efforts have made such a difference to the cenotaph and the format of the Anzac Day services that gives pride and respect to our wonderful veterans.
I would like to extend my gratitude to those Mount Isa businesses and outstanding people that bring the special touch to such a wonderful day: Barkly Engineering, QH2O, Coles, Woolworths and Happy Valley General Store.
The wonderful Mount Isa City Council staff for the set up and the ladies in Admin and to the outstanding graphic work by none other than the beautiful Penny.
The music providers, Alicia and band members, you were very impressive.
Mary Jane playing the bagpipes bringing that solemn trance over the crowd.
Keith ...as usual wonderful
To the beautiful anthem singers .....absolutely beautiful.
The touching presentations from the students honouring our deceased diggers that lie in the Sunset Cemetery
To be able to present and event like this,we were fortunate enough to have the professionalism of the MITEV staff.
I would personally like to thank Jayden and Jolene you are simply the best and very much appreciated
To all the committee I think we achieved the greatness we aimed for so we could honour our veterans.
DID THEY MAKE A DIFFERENCE……….YOU BET THEY DID
Lest we forget.

Community donations the key to combatting brain cancer
Brain Cancer Action Week, May 1-7, is an opportunity to increase awareness and support for brain cancer victims.
There will be an estimated 290 Queenslanders who will be diagnosed with a brain tumour this year.
Risk factors are not easily identifiable, and no screening procedures currently exist either.
Brain cancer is the leading cancer killer for people under the age of 39 and children under 10.
Sadly, just 25 per cent of people diagnosed with a brain tumour survive for at least five years.
The burden placed on patients and carers following a brain cancer diagnosis is significant.
It is important for all of us to do what we can to provide better outcomes for those diagnosed.
This Brain Cancer Action Week, with your support, we will continue to invest in research and support for those affected, including carers and families.
Cancer Council Queensland currently runs a Brain Tumour Support Service – providing the latest treatment information, support and referrals to rehabilitation, along with practical assistance.
We also continue to invest heavily into brain cancer research to provide Queenslanders with the best chance of detecting, treating and surviving a diagnosis.
Thank you for supporting our work to beat brain cancer.

Chief Executive Officer
