I love the customers and have made some really good friends over my time here. The community spirit is what I love the most and I managed to clothe my entire family from our awesome OpShop. | |

 | Committee Member | Catriona Harding | I've been on the committee a fairly short time and have met and made some lovely friends here. I am amazed at the dedication and care that each of the committee members, op shop personnel and volunteers display at our little Centre. I joined the committee to further advance my belief in our community nurturing a hub for sustainability and learning self reliant skills. As an example, our Op shop is a great place to start cycling preloved goods back into homes and keep out of landfill. For a number of years now I have facilitated the Mooloolah Eudlo Harvest Swap. This is a gathering of people that come together to swap homemade or homegrown goods. It's very popular and I now help other communities start up their own swaps. I have a few ideas that I would love to work on with the committee and hope those ideas will be seeds of permanent value to our community. My interests are; community resilience workshops and information, cookery - particularly preserving and international cookery, the environment - particularly the preservation of our green spaces and waterways in Mooloolah and surrounds. Other interests are family, art and music, growing food and gardening. I think we are entering an exciting time at the Mooloolah Community Centre and I'm looking forward to working hand in hand with committee and community. | |
