Another month over and our Living Gems communities have been at it again with lots of fun activities, roadtrips, King’s Coronation celebrations and fundraising events for Cancer Council Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea.

Firstly, congratulations to all new Living Gems Toowoomba residents who celebrated their settlements last month. Little Jack, Toowoomba’s newest furry resident, who moved in with mum and dad Peter and Carolyn, is very excited about the new off-leash area and can’t wait to hit the green.

Opal residents partied in style to celebrate the King’s Coronation with a high tea, and it was hard to be unimpressed by the authentic Royal Albert Moonlight Roses tea set – a truly beautiful British collection fit for a King. In other resort news, 205 scones were baked by residents for their May Market Day and sold out to Amber and Opal residents within the first hour. Well done, Opal!

Ruby put on some great gigs including a White Cocktail Gala where residents had the chance to dress up to the nines and enjoy some dancing and fine dining. Their All at Sea movie night was also a smashing success. It’s a fabulous black comedy-drama sure to float your boat.

Not only did Amber get their hands on Opal’s scones, but residents also ventured to Platypus Place at Harrigan’s to enjoy a drink together.

Placing a bet with the flushed bookmaker was also on the cards at the Beaudesert horse races and Amber’s first State of Origin night was a hit with snags, a big screen and plenty of maroon and blue competitive spirit on display.

It was reported that a luncheon at Landsborough Hotel with some of the Caboolture gang was a blast, and the Guitar Gems and Starlight Singers put on great performances for their Cancer Council Australia’s Biggest Morning Tea fundraiser, which included trivia games and delicious sweet goodies. Congratulations also to Fay Fairbrother for her milestone 80th birthday.

We look forward to hearing from the resorts again for next month’s show and tell.
