The 2023 Academy of Light - Maleny Scavenger Hunt
Anna Johnson
When I was thinking about how to encourage our attendees out into the community I remembered the fun of 'scavenger hunts'. I love a challenge so here is one for those who wish to participate. There is no cost to participate but there are a few prizes. All those who submit completed and correct results by the end of lunch on Thursday will go into the draw for one of two books being given away. So, on day 1 (Tuesday) during the morning tea break, see one of our volunteers at the entrance for a paper copy or download it...
Two tourist locations and an adventure

Last minute preps
Anna Johnson
Well it's now only 11 sleeps to the 'Moving further with the Lord' school which starts on the 7th of February, 2023. I have been thoroughly briefed to share with you the important stuff so here it is: - PLEASE (pretty please) make sure you have a paper copy of your confirmation of attendance (or a screen shot of it as a less favoured alternative). You will need this on Tuesday (day 1) to register at the door and collect your school pack. Now don't panic if someone's dog ate it on the way to...school, as we have a work...
