DO you want help those battling the mud and sludge? Show your Queensland spirit on SUNDAY JANUARY 23 and volunteer for Sister Suburb Sunday. Bring your own sensible clothes, mop, bucket, shovel, water pressure cleaner or lawnmower when Greater Brisbane and Ipswich Rotary clubs coordinate a Sunday Mail-Channel 7 campaign to get a bit of elbow grease into the massive clean-up ahead for thousands of residents. The working bee will run at flood-damaged sites across the region, including schools, community spaces and homes. Rotary district governor Anne Brand is calling for those who want to lend a helping hand, or those who would like to nominate a project: Register at http://www.sistersuburbsunday.com.au/

I really want to help out on the Sunday but the registration has closed. Is there a way I can still register? Thank you andrewngray@gmail.com

I don't think I can do much about the registrations closing off - they simply have too many volunteers. Don't be discouraged - the needs will go on, and change, for many months.
I have passed back the fact to Rotary that there is now, no way for projects to be registered.
I think the site could be a bit more infomative as to what is happening.

Hi,
I registered earlier and received an email yesterday saying that Rotary would contact me by email or text, but haven't heard anything.
I live on the Sunshine Coast and really want to help. If I don't hear from organisers, I plan to drive down tomorrow anyway and lend a hand with the parks clean-up..or anywhere in flood-affected areas where I can b e useful.
Cheers!

I went down with eskies full of bake relief and no one was there! Around 12:15 another friend saw the rotary van leaving the front gates of the gardens! What happened? Any one know?

Will this be done again?   I'm going to be in the area for 6 months and would like to participate.  Regardless, this is a great idea!!  I hope it continues because I got a mop with someone's name on it.
