On Monday, 24th April 2017 at 10am – 12 noon, the Musical Morning Tea (MMT) came together to celebrate 70th Birthday of their very own coordinator, Shirley Schnieder.
It is no wonder why Shirley is loved and cherished by all that attend MMT. Being the coordinator for over 20 years, her charisma, wit and friendly approach is very endearing to everyone she met and no doubt, one of the reason why people come and join MMT. With the event recurring every Monday at Our Place Hall, she is able to build a tight-knit bond with all members, including the Community Engagement Manager, Haley Kiata. “Shirley makes this world a better place and I feel absolutely privileged to be working with such a kind and caring woman.” Haley said.
Her friendly nature even connects her to several political leaders who attended the celebration and brought various gifts to recognise her dedication to the program. Milton Dick also provided a sponge cake & beautiful flowers, Charles Strunk presented a lovely bouquet and Melanie Wedgwood, who on behalf of Annastacia Palaszczuk, arranged a wonderful bunch of flowers for Shirley.
After the speeches and the presentations, the event was followed by a birthday song, cutting of the cake and entertainment led by Ray Thompson with his lovely music. The birthday celebration was concluded with a free networking lunch for all attendees.
