FREE GET SAVVY EXPOS OFFER AN ABUNDANCE OF INFORMATION
Scenic Rim residents are encouraged to tap into the wealth of knowledge on offer at a series of free community expos to be held across the region this month.
Scenic Rim Regional Council’s Get Savvy Health and Wellbeing Expos will be held at Tamborine Mountain, Boonah and Beaudesert, where stallholders will be offering free giveaways and a wide range of information for community members of all ages and stages in life.
Mayor Greg Christensen said the Get Savvy Health and Wellbeing Expos offer an abundance of information, covering a wide range of health and social issues faced by many members of the Scenic Rim community at some point in their lives.
"With our ageing population, aged care is increasingly a concern for many members of our community and their families, and care providers and allied organisations will be well represented at the Get Savvy events," he said.
“However, there’s something for Scenic Rim residents of all ages and stages in life, with stallholders including local community organisations, health professionals, mental health services, emergency services, disability and drug support services, and organisations promoting breast screening, healthy bladder and bowel, and elder abuse awareness, to name just a few.
"A number of community organisations and providers of Council’s Be Healthy and Active program will also be participating, so whether you are new to the region or are an established resident, there's plenty of scope for those looking for a new interest to connect with others.
“I hope everyone will make the most of this opportunity to learn more about the services available in our community and improve their knowledge and wellbeing to enjoy Scenic Rim living to the fullest.”
The Get Savvy expos will be held from 10am to 12 noon on the following days and locations:
• Tuesday 20 April at Tamborine Mountain Library
• Wednesday 21 April at Boonah Cultural Centre, and
• Wednesday 28 April at Beaudesert Library.
