A small moment at the Cardwell RSL Sub Branch recently captured the spirit of what makes the venue such a valued part of the community. During the weekly Sunday BBQ and buffet lunch, a guest arrived using a motorised scooter, navigating the hall with ease. According to President Rob, it is the first time the branch has welcomed a motorised scooter or wheelchair inside the space. It's a simple sight that said plenty about how the RSL continues to evolve with their community.
The lunch itself was cheerful and full of conversation, much like every weekend. Volunteers helped with serving meals, checking in on visitors, and keeping the afternoon running smoothly. Their efforts, week after week, allow the RSL to be a place where people can gather comfortably and feel welcome.
Seeing mobility equipment in the hall for the first time shows how accessible the venue has become, and how the Cardwell RSL continues to welcome people as they are, creating a space where locals can enjoy themselves without barriers or fuss.
