For those that came along to the Food Q Showcase event it was a good night enjoyed by all. It was a really great opportunity to see and taste some great locally produced products. It was unfortunate that Brisbane was struck by bad weather for the evening as this no doubt affected the numbers. However as an inaugral event it was a great start. Here's some snaps I took on the night.

Kim Walters Choices Program
Wed, 16/03/2011 - 12:00pm | by MartinThis is a great charity and one of my favourites as it supports women diagnosed with breast cancer.
The Choices program was started in 1998 as a legacy to Kim Walters to ensure her vision of a support network for women with breast cancer was achieved. The program provides support, counselling, information and therapies to both women and men with breast cancer and also their families free of charge. Unfortunately, the Choices program receives no ongoing government funding so relies solely on the generosity of the
community.
