Kindness in Action

In a heartwarming display of community spirit, the Horseshoe Bay Social Club has once again shown how powerful a group with purpose — and kindness — can be. The club recently donated $2000 to the Bowen Hospital, with the funds dedicated to the development of the hospital’s new oncology clinic.

The generous contribution was made possible through the ongoing efforts of club members, local supporters, and fundraising activities throughout the year. Committee members Max Martin and Perry proudly presented the donation to a representative of the Bowen Hospital Auxiliary, highlighting the strong relationship between the social club and local healthcare services.

The impact of such donations goes far beyond the financial. They represent what’s possible when people come together not just for social connection, but to make a real and lasting difference in the lives of others.

Social clubs like the one at Horseshoe Bay continue to prove that community is more than just geography — it’s shared values, compassion, and the willingness to lend a hand.

Well done to everyone who contributed to this fantastic result. The Bowen Hospital, and the community it serves, is all the better for it.
