Now in its 17th year, the Maleny Blackall Range Lions Club, Welcome to Maleny and District ‘Meet and Greet’ 2022 – formally the ‘Welcome Dinner’ – invite newcomers to meet fellow newcomers to Maleny and District, together with local residents, sponsoring businesses and organisations, to give a big welcome to the place we love and call home.
Last year was a great success, with a less formal approach than previous years in a more fun, casual and relaxing afternoon. This year will be just as relaxing in the Pavilion overlooking the beautiful Maleny showgrounds. Guests will be able to wander around the presentation stalls chatting to local community groups who showcase their various volunteer organisations and talk about the many opportunities available for new residents to participate in and make new friends.
A delicious afternoon tea will be provided by The Orangery Maleny and a bar, manned by the Lions Club, will also be available. A guest speaker will introduce you to the history of the town, sponsors of the event and community groups will be available to inform you of the great services and opportunities to become involved, and a raffle will also be held with the first prize being a large framed print donated by Ben Messina.
The event is not restricted purely to new Maleny Blackall Range residents therefore, anyone who would like to get more involved with community groups and meet new friends and neighbours, is also welcome to attend.
The event will be held on Sunday September 18 at 2pm for 2.30pm at the Maleny Show Pavilion, concluding at 5.30pm.
