This year as our guest speaker we were very lucky to have Bill Bristow, the founder of 'Angel Flight' Australia. Bill explained how Angel Flight became a reality in Australia after seeing a similar successful operation in the US. There are now over 850 pilots, 650 Earth Angels and 750 health professionals registered as volunteers. 450 missions had been completed in an 18 month period since its inception.
Angel Flight was created to meet
the needs of those most wanting the speed and comfort of aircraft travel and
those least able to afford it. Angel Flight Australia is a new charity that
co-ordinates non-emergency flights for financially and medically needy people.
All flights are free and may involve patients or compassionate carers travelling
to or from medical facilities anywhere in Australia. To find out more about
Angel flight visit their website at www.angelflight.org.au
Our thanks once again go to The Rockhampton Grammar School band and Barry Saunders who provided wonderful entertainment on the night.
