Letter from BDAQ President

14th January 2011

During this time of crisis in Queensland, I trust you, your family and your friends are safe and well.

For those of you who have suffered loss, our thoughts are with you. If you have lost property and have damaged businesses and homes, we are with you in spirit as you rebuild.

I was heartened by the number of emails and phone calls that we received here in Bundaberg frommembers around the State checking on our welfare, when our city was experiencing its flood emergency last week.

Should there be anything we can do to assist, please contact me at greg@designgp.com.au. or Head Office admin@bdaq.com.au

Regional communities throughout Central and South West Queensland have been inundated with flood waters during the past month, with many areas suffering inundation for a second time.

I watched in dismay the devastation of the flash flooding in Toowoomba and the resulting chaos and loss of life and property in the Lockyer Valley.

Brisbane and Ipswich are now confronted with the devastation encountered by our country members.

The ramifications of this disaster will be felt throughout the community for a very long time.

The effect on our businesses, farms, schools, roads and transport will be profound. Queenslanders are famous in the way we respond to adversity.

Let’s congratulate the magnificent effort of our Emergency Services personnel and the volunteer organisations that have combined to assist Queensland.

If you are not already volunteering, I would ask that you assist, where possible, in helping others in your area towards a speedy recovery, particularly fellow BDAQ members.

Greg Pershouse
