Well hello Toowoomba and welcome to our last Episode for 2020, time to kick this year to the kerb, and look forward to a fantastic 2021.
Can you believe starting two weeks before Covid hit, we have still managed 45 Episodes of the Talkin Toowoomba podcast? We are super proud and have also managed to pick up a sponsor along the way. Huge Shout out to Kristy and Chloe' from Recognition Plus. Their drive to help businesses get noticed aligns perfectly with our ethos. So go see the girls and, put your NAME, .. where it counts!. From promo gear and trophies, to name badges, they will help you be seen.
We would also like to thank both the Toowoomba Regional Council and the Toowoomba Chamber of Commerce, for believing in our vision for a community-driven weekly podcast about what goes on in this great city, even whilst we had nothing going on.
We thought a short and sweet episode this week might be the go, as everyone is busy finalising Christmas plans.
In News of the Week, we would like to just let everyone know about the Youth Grant program, which has just been rolled out by Council for 12-25-year-olds, grants up to $1000 are available. Applications close 13 January 2021, see the council website for details.
And the council school holiday program continues through the rest of Dec and Jan so check out the options to keep the kids happy.
Now some of you may know by now we were involved in a quick chat with each of the winners from the Focus HR Business Excellence Awards, straight after they left the stage. Here are a couple of examples from passionate Toowoomba business owners.
So the delightful short videos of each chat are now available on the Talkin' Toowoomba Facebook page. So if you have a soft spot for a winning business, check out their video chat with me on our Facebook page, and share the love.
To the more than 100 people we have interviewed as absolutely fantastic guests through-out the year, thank-you you make this possible, it has been great fun meeting some great people.
