Buzz About Local Tourist Attraction 

Published on 22 March, 2002 

Jillian Litster, a lecturer in tourism at Central Queensland University, became a local attraction herself on the Rockhampton campus Friday, participating in the Leukemia Foundation’s Shave For a Cure.

PhotoID:11 Friend and event organizer Elaine Ross said Jillian had missed the official opportunity to get buzzed last week. But that didn’t stop her. "She always had a yen to do it. I think talking to her friends who said they'd contribute to the Foundation sent her over the edge!" It took only a few minutes to cut her shoulder length auburn hair down to stubble.

Jillian managed to raise $700, which also supported the fund raising activities of Central Queensland University student, Cindy Freeman, Rockhampton's adult entrant in this year's quest.
