The Babinda Craft Ladies have begun meeting again, every Wednesday from 9:30am.
Everyone is welcome, bring along your crafts, come for a chat or maybe you have something that needs to be repaired - they can help. $5 helps cover hall hire, tea and coffee.

NOTE: This is not a CWA group, it is simply a group of local ladies who enjoy craft and catching up each week.

Raymond Abdy (pictured with me), accompanied by his devoted mum Lorna, has been a cherished competitor at the Cairns Masters Games for nearly 25 years. Their annual visits to the our units have become a heartwarming tradition for myself and our regular Guests.
At just seventeen, Raymond's life changed dramatically when he suffered a brain injury in a car accident. But his determination, courage, and love for sport have never wavered. Over the years, Raymond has not only competed but excelled—his impressive collection of medals is a testament to his perseverance and competitive spirit.
Raymond has become a beloved guest and an inspiration to all who meet him. His story reminds us that true champions are defined not just by the medals they win, but by the strength and heart they show along the way.
