Hi everyone.

I just had a cooked breakfast - at the local Lions Club Australia Day Breakfast.

Yum! & a sense of connection.

I never have a cooked breakfast, so it's quite a treat (I told them happily)...

Good Food and Community is such a bonus. @Adge

@Former-Member Beautiful pics.  Yes I have been most privileged.  There really are some things money can not buy.  Neither event is costing me financially.

Freebies = 🙌

@Former-Member

I would not call it freebies ... as that comes from another style of thinking... this is another form of economy ... that is productive, social, creative and generative.... no BS. 

I did get freebie ... tshirt, 2 ciders, handful of chips, and 5 cappucinos.... I also worked for them ... was I too cheap or generous ??? Maybe ... maybe not ...

Understood you were volunteering.  Makes it easier if no financial burden.

Good morning @Former-Member & @Appleblossom

Yep, cooked breakfast + someone else cooking it + community event =

Yup Thanks @Former-Member

But as a professional in the field I also have to be careful about undercutting and giving good skills away gratis.  Tradies, many males and mechanics may not be so kind.
