Next Club Meeting
The next Club meeting 25 Aug 2025
Our next club meeting will be held at the Mooloolaba Bowls Club. The guest speaker will be
Brett Fragiacomo who will be talking on Seed Foundation.
Seed is the lead entity in a collaborative effort to provide career pathways and wraparound
support for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander students from rural and remote
communities. Seed's model is designed to unearth and support future community leaders who
can ultimately relieve the endemic intergenerational poverty and destitution that pervades
many remote Indigenous communities.
