Presentation on ‘Dementia Awareness’
Have you ever wondered what dementia is? Come along this Monday 12 February, Leah Keating will present a talk and give you an understanding on Dementia at 10am in the OLR Church. We will begin with morning tea at 9.30am—sponsored by Holy Cross Funerals.
If you would like to ask Leah anything anonymously about dementia, there is a box in the parish office.
You can leave your questions there and Leah will cover these at the end of the presentation.
Alternatively you can email Leah at [email protected] or ask questions on the day.

We welcome Cecile Beattie & Kalani Cottrell who will be baptised at OLR this weekend.
—UPDATE— The photo on the back cover of ‘The Heart on the Hill’ was mistakenly attributed to Peter Erdmann. The photo was taken by Jeanette Nobes as part of a Project coordinated by her in 2000 called ‘MALENY – 2000 A PORTRAIT OF ITS PEOPLE’. That collection is held at the State Library in Brisbane.
