Thursday 11th June
A new monthly event is the ‘Welcome Mat’ night at the Upfront Club (31 Maple Street, Maleny) on the 2nd Thursday of every month. As our town's population grows, how can we keep that sense of community and neighbourliness that attracts newcomers to Maleny? Are there easy ways for newcomers to meet established residents, make friends, and get involved in community if they wish? The point is that there is a warm welcome to anybody, whether you are a family or someone on your own, new to town or third generation! Bring board games if you have them (if you wish). | ||
