  1. Install security screens on the deckside Gallery windows; and
  2. Purchase 80 quality outdoor chairs

KASI would like to acknowledge the financial sponsorship of the following groups, clubs and individuals as without their assistance, the enhancements made to THE LAKESIDE DECK would not be possible.

Kilcoy and District Progress Alliance Inc ($1650)

Somerset Regional Council (Community Assistance Grant – $1000)

Caboolture Sports Club (Community Chest Fund – $1000)

Somerset Health and Fitness ($200)

Community members who have ‘Bought a Chair for their Derriere’!

KASI’s next fundraising projects will include the purchase of tables, establishing a furniture storage area and installation of outdoor awnings to provide further weather protection!
