Respect and Recognise Elders

2023 Elders' Luncheon

25 August 2023

​

The Elders were treated to delish Roast Pork and Veges and Curry Chicken and Rice for lunch, together with an awesome array of desserts.  Lunch and desserts were homemade by the ASSIUC Committee members.

​

Also present at the luncheon were special guest speakers, Amori and Ennith (from Vanuatu) funded by Pawanka.  They had spent the last week attending ASSIUC Recognition week events, sharing and teaching a lot of local culture from Vanuatu.  Thank you also to Christine Evans who chaperoned Amori and Ennith whilst they were in Rockhampton, and also her husband Shane and family who make this time possible.

​

ASSIUC's new website was also officially launched at the luncheon.
