Scope
is an Australian Women’s Service Club
– similar to other Service Clubs eg Lioness, Lions,
Apex, Rotary, Inner Wheel, however Scope is a Club founded
in Australia. Most Club’s are in Queensland but
we do have one Club in Ballina NSW. Our current National
President, Janet Hansen, is from our Cairns Club.
Fund Raising History
Scope Members claim that they put the FUN into
fundraising. Over the 30 years we have raised many thousands
of dollars for local Cairns organisations. Together with
Edmonton Lions Club we instigated the annual Edmonton
Carols by Candlelight and this continues to grow in popularity
with proceeds being donated to the Cairns Council Christmas
Appeal. We also work with the Edmonton Lions Club to facilitate
activities for the Council when Edmonton area hosts the
Australia Day activities.
Fund Raising Activities
Recently we have been raising funds for the purchase of
barbecue and outdoor tables for the young person’s
residential care with St John’s at Gordonvale. This
fundraising continues. We are long time supporters of
Cairns Red Cross, both financially and with hands on assistance.
Members assist with the Cairns Show stall and with Emergency
and Disaster Relief and attend training sessions. Donations
have also been made to Gordonvale Palliative Care (Sunbird
Lodge), Suicide Prevention and Bereavement support, Hospital
Foundation, Hear and Say Centre, Angel Flight, Cord Blood
In June 2009 The Cairns Club will host their 4th
National Conference. "This will be the 32nd
Annual Scope National Conference."
We are looking for guest speakers for the Sunday morning
session and would be very interested to know of groups/speakers
that would be prepared to speak for half an hour or so
on their subject which would be of general interest to
women. We expect approximately 50 delegates. Please phone
Fran on 0407 695 891
We are also looking to the Business community for any
Corporate financial support they might be able to offer
our Club to assist with Conference expenses.
New Members
are always welcome and we meet at 7.30 pm on the second
and fourth Wednesdays of each month at the Cairns Red
Cross Centre Lake Street.
