The Maleny-Blackall Range Lions Club 2023 Meet & Greet

View from Tranquil Park Venue.

Now in its 18th year, the Maleny-Blackall Range Lions Club are holding their 2023 Meet & Greet Event on Sunday October 8 (2:30 to 6pm) at Tranquil Park, 483 Mountain View Road, Maleny.

This popular annual event is being held at Tranquil Park with the most spectacular views over the Glasshouse Mountains. All residents of the Blackall Range, particularly new residents, are welcome to attend.

In addition to a delicious selection of canapes, there will also be a free glass of bubbly on arrival and there will be live music from local musician Henry Catania, raffles, door prizes and auctions, some family friendly events, as well as local produce samplings all in air-conditioned comfort overlooking the most spectacular views in Maleny.

Our local State MP, Andrew Powell will be officiating, and Cr Winston Johnston will give us an insight into life in early Maleny and surrounds. This is not only a great way for you to meet fellow residents of our wonderful Blackall Range community and make new friends, but also get to know some of the not-for-profit, arts & craft, sporting and other local organisations as well as other small businesses who support our community.

The major real estate agents in Maleny and across the Blackall Range will be inviting their new owners to the event, not only to get a taste of what their new community offers, but also how they can get more involved.

Maleny has been voted the friendliest community in Australia for the last 2 years running and this is an opportunity to find out why!

Tina Cooper Glass Vase for Auction.

A beautiful and very unique glass vase, handmade by local Montville artist Tina Cooper, is also to be auctioned at this wonderful event by a renowned local auctioneer/ raconteur, with all money raised to be distributed back to the 50 plus organisations supported by the Maleny-Blackall Range Lions Club.

So, whether you are new to the area or whether you have been here a while and would simply like the opportunity to enjoy a fun afternoon and meet new friends, while at the same time supporting our local community, we would love for you and your family to attend.

Tickets are only $25 and are available on trybooking.com/CJXYF (children under 12 are free)
