It was good to see some new faces at the last meeting and we welcome all to come along to the next meeting. Jennifer Fredericks from Logan City Safe will be able to answer your questions about the role of council programs including the cameras, park rangers and other schemes to make living in the city more family friendly.
At the moment unfortunately there are a number of scam artists around the city trying to con people out of money. The scams range from collecting your rates THESE ARE NEVER EVER COLLECTED FROM YOU ON YOUR DOORSTEP!! Also we now have Fire Ants back in the area and some criminals are trying to fleece people of their hard earned money by searching for fire ant nests on their property. Please contact Police if suspicious. Bio Security from DPI is responsible for fire ant detection and we will arrange a speaker later.
Other scams recently in the suburbs have been people trying to sell you some “left over” bitumen which ends up costing more than having a driveway done completely. Also people claiming to be in your area and noticing that a tree looks dangerous and needs cutting down at a reduced cost. THEY ARE ALL SCAMS
We have arranged to have a speaker from the Fraud Squad to come to speak to our community in early September. More details nearer the date.
In conjunction with PCYC we will be part of the Volunteering Awareness Day on July 24th, which will be an invitation to you all to see what volunteering is all about and how volunteers can make a difference in the community.
Take care Geoff
