The Home Hill Chamber of Commerce met for their final time this year, on Wednesday night, 11 December. The Chamber hosted guest speakers: Rachael Smith, the Editor-in-Chief of Core Publishing (and Burdekin Life); Burdekin Life’s new journalist, Mark T. Rasmussen; Home Hill State School principal, Sharon O’Neill and teacher, Louis Nicholas.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort, councillor, Amanda Hall, and several other prominent guests and members, were also in attendance.
Rachael Smith spoke about the benefits of having a local newspaper back in the community, and the knock-on effects it has provided. Mark Rasmussen introduced himself to the Chamber for the first time and gave his background, including being an award-winning author, having only arrived in the Home Hill area late November.
Sharon O’Neill, also a recent transplant, discussed her background and recent Australian travels, as well as her aims for Home Hill State High School. While colleague, Louise Nicholas talked about the exciting new horticultural project currently being undertaken at the school.
The night was a great success, with a special post talk Christmas light dinner provided, much to the delight of all attended.
