A huge congratulations to
Samara Ey Escobar on her nomination and win of the international women’s day award.

Samara commented
“To be nominated for an award at the QPS International Women’s Day Awards event was big - but to win one for my volunteering with Marine Rescue Queensland really has made my year! Couldn’t have done it without all my wonderful mentors who encouraged and guided me to this point. What an honour! 💐 🏆 “

We are all super proud of you Samara well done.

Last night at the General meeting, the very popular and constant fixture at the base Brett Campbell was presented his National Medal for 15 years service to our squadron. Pictured presenting Brett with his medal is unit Commander Shaun Quilty. Congratulations Brett on your recognition for a long and distinguished service. We were unable to calculate how much ice cream you would have consumed over that time . We know it would have been well deserved though.

It was a great weekend last weekend to welcome 6 new recruits to the squadron. On Saturday they underwent the shipboard safety skills set. Congratulations and welcome to the new recruits. We also snuck in a not so new recruit when Pat Reynolds (Slinky) was awarded his 3rd stripe section 24 skipper in training. Presented by Resource controller Paul Raven hot on the heels of recent recipient Alan Tosh who was presented last week by unit Commander Shaun Quilty. Also congratulations to David Bonici (Bonkers) on receiving his senior crew 2nd stripe unfortunately the paparazzi were unavailable at the time we will put up a pic soon. Well done to all we are still looking to bring on new members contact the base for more information. As we always say check your safety gear and log on.

Always be careful crossing the Pin.

For your safety please contact us before crossing and again when your safely on the other side on VHF 82 or 55461100
