If you are interested in sewing and handicrafts where you can produce work as an individual or in a group situation and make a difference in the community then the Island Quilters group is certainly worth contacting.

Als,o we donate quilts to many charities such as STEPS and Breast Cancer groups.” Aileen said that the group have a Facebook page under Island Quilters Bribie which displays their work each week as well as sharing with other groups. She said that they have a quilt show coming up in May. “We will raffle a quilt at our show and the money will go to Bribie Neighbourhood Centre,” she said.

A highly successful sales and leadership career working in a number of different and very competitive industries. Engaging with decision makers at all levels in business and government. Three decades employed by corporations, SME businesses in senior roles and almost twelve years operating as a freelance contractor has equipped me well for all aspects of business. Whether leading and mentoring sales teams, or in a direct sales role I enjoy the challenge to meet and exceed expectations. Making a real and tangible difference in either a team environment or as an individual is an important personal goal I have consistently achieved throughout my career. In all of my business and personal dealings over the years there is one issue that stands out above all others - communication. Excellent communication skills creates trust, helps with mutually beneficial outcomes and above all cements long lasting positive relationships. I strive everyday to communicate effectively with the people I encounter.
