Bid for Our Councillors to Work a Day in Your Shoes for Charity!

No matter where you are in the region, or what it is your business does, you will have the opportunity to bid for a Councillor in the ‘2010 Work a Day in Your Shoes Charity Auction’.

The highest bidder will buy themselves their very own Councillor for the day, who will see, do, and experience everything that you do in your day to day workplaces! So whether it’s cleaning toilets, packing groceries or making sandwiches the Councillor you purchase will be your employee for the day! Council and the Kingaroy Rotary Club have joined forces in an effort to raise money for Angel Flight, a charity that coordinates non-emergency free flights for financially and medically needy people anywhere in Australia.

The Council are finalising the auction details and more information will be released over the coming weeks. So be on the lookout and start thinking about what it is you may wish to bid to have a Councillor ‘Work a Day in Your Shoes’.

The Bureau of Meteorology has predicted that severe storms and cyclones are likely to impact Queensland this storm season. Make sure your business is prepared.
Earlier this year hundreds of businesses were impacted by storms and flooding. These businesses learnt a lot about how they could have been better prepared, unfortunately only after the event happened.

To assist you, the Queensland Government is offering a free one-hour webinar which will outline how you can prepare your business for the cyclone, storm and flood season.
