It was all smiles at the Bowen RSL earlier this month when a team of hardworking volunteers from Abbot Point Operations stepped in to help with a task that was as heavy as it was heartfelt.
As part of a recent community grant allocation, Abbot Point Operations donated a full set of brand-new chairs to the Bowen RSL and went one step further by personally delivering and moving both the new and old furniture on site.
Bowen RSL’s Rhonda Nilsson couldn’t have been more thankful for the effort.
“A big thanks to Abbot Point crew for helping Bowen RSL with the heavy lifting this week,” Rhonda shared.
“Not only did Abbot Point Operations provide our chairs with a community grant but they provided strong young arms to help us shift the old chairs and they also helped with some other heavy lifting that was needing to be done!”
The support didn’t stop there. In the true spirit of community, the RSL’s outgoing chairs were passed on to several local clubs where veterans are members, including the Bowen Men’s Shed, SSAA Gun Club, and Bowen Pistol Club.
The generous gesture greatly eased the load for the Bowen RSL, and Rhonda, along with the rest of the staff members, cannot thank the four volunteers from Abbot Point Operations enough.
