Mission Beach Community Association is in the process of compiling its 2010 ‘State of 4852 Mission Beach’ report and if you have any items to report which could be included in the report please forward. Although they try to cover most of 4852 area there could easily be some items that have been missed and that need to be addressed by Council. Previous reports can be found on their website. Next meeting is on Tuesday the 13th of April 7.30 pm at the Mission Beach Resort.

Mission Beach Meals on Wheels once again has a shortage of  volunteers, either cooks or deliverers. Please contact Brenda on 4068 7245 if you can assist.
