We are very excited about the coming year, and look forward to providing our members with more quality information and news, plus seeing how we can better assist the community with their local projects.

 

However it was with great sadness, that we also said goodbye to a very long-standing member of the MBCA - Truus Biddlecombe.

 

Truus wore many hats over the past 19 years she was with us, as she gave selflessly to ensure the Mission Beach and surrounds area grew and prospered to be the fabulous community it is today. Many of you know Truus, and I am sure you will agree, she will be very much missed for her outspoken, mischevious, dedicated, hardworking personality, and the tireless energy she gave to the MBCA. In her own words she said there had been great times, and some not-so-great times, but it was now time to pursue other interests.

 

We wish her the absolute best as she races off to take up new adventures and look forward to the stories from the energetic Mrs Biddlecombe as she devotes her time to helping others.
