On a bright Wednesday, the 7th of February 2024, the Sovereign Islands & Surrounds community came together for their February Monthly Community Luncheon at the Red Steakhouse & Bar, Sanctuary Cove. This event wasn’t just another gathering; it was a vibrant celebration of community spirit, generosity, and collective action towards making a meaningful difference.
Hosted by Joanne Rahn, the Director of Zanthii Communications, and her mother, Marilyn West, the luncheon marked the 16th successful year of these monthly events. What made this occasion even more special was the remarkable achievement of raising $7,110 for Act for Kids, an organisation dedicated to the prevention and treatment of child abuse and neglect. This generous donation brought the total funds raised through these luncheons to an impressive $67,320, supporting 16 worthy causes and initiatives over the years.
The success of the event speaks volumes about the power of community involvement and the positive impact it can have. With the support of sponsors like Zanthii Communications, Kingsford Lawyers, and Outsourced HR Solution, the luncheon has grown into a much-anticipated event that brings together individuals from all walks of life, united by their desire to contribute to a greater good.
The atmosphere of the luncheon was both warm and welcoming, making everyone feel part of something bigger. It’s this sense of belonging and mutual support that truly defines the Sovereign Islands & Surrounds community. The fact that these luncheons welcome everyone, regardless of where they live, is a testament to the inclusive nature of these events and the community’s open-heartedness.
Looking forward, the next luncheon is already generating excitement. Scheduled for Wednesday, 13th of March, 2024, at IOESCO Restaurant, Sanctuary Cove, it promises to be another wonderful opportunity for community members to come together. This time, the proceeds will support The Gold Coast Hospital Foundation, continuing the tradition of giving back and supporting local causes.
