Ten residents and two organisations have been recognised for their long-standing contributions to the region at this year’s Campbelltown City Jubilee Awards ceremony.
The Jubilee Awards celebrate people who have lived in Campbelltown for 50 years or more, and for 30 years or more for members of the city’s Indigenous community.
Each recipient was presented with an award and certificate from Mayor of Campbelltown Darcy Lound at a ceremony last week (pictured above).
“It is incredible to think of the tremendous growth that Campbelltown has undergone over the past 50 years, and each and every one of these award recipients have helped to make our city a better place to live in,” Cr Lound said.
“The Jubilee Awards are our way to show Campbelltown’s gratitude towards those people who have been an integral part of our community for a long time,” he said.
“I’d like to offer my congratulations and thanks to each of these amazing award recipients.”
This year’s Jubilee Award recipients include Lorraine Barrington (50 years), Raylene Blackburn, an Indigenous community member (over 40 years), Reiltin Bullock (50 years), Denys Cato (55 years), Judith Cato (55 years), Liesel Deveney (56 years), Larry Mackison (53 years), Vicki Mackison (53 years), Annette Read (52 years), Megan Reeves (54 years).
The two local organisations receiving Jubilee Awards recognition this year were Airds High School (50 years), and the Campbelltown branch of the Country Women’s Association of NSW (70 years).
Nominations for the Campbelltown City Jubilee Awards are open throughout the year, with an awards ceremony held once per year to recognise the nominees. Details on council’s website.
