Summerdaze Challenge Fun Day
Staff and Board members from disAbilties Resource Centres Queenstown and Southland got together for a real fun day out. All wore our DRCQ T-shirts as we took the opportunity to advertise our service to local people. We certainly stood out as the only team with a ‘Uniform’. Competing often against children with bags of energy, we did well, reaching the semi-final and winning a box of chocolates that the greedy staff at DRCQ ate all to themselves. The Summerdaze event showed that all sections of the community young to old [er] can get together for a cheap, COMMUNITY day out in Queenstown, run by local people, for local people.
