“What struck me was how humble and appreciative our volunteers were regarding the recognition they received from the community.’’
That’s what the State Member for Campbelltown, Greg Warren, told the NSW Parliament after hosting this year’s local volunteer award winners.
“Campbelltown and our wider region are richer for their efforts, alongside the efforts of all our local volunteers and I thank them all,’’ Mr Warren said.
After hosting the awards, Mr Warren addressed the Legislative Assembly via a community recognition statement, praising the invaluable efforts of all volunteers in our region.
“On October 11 I was honoured to have hosted local Volunteer of the Year Award winners and finalists here in the parliament.
“This was a celebration and to show appreciation on behalf of the people of Campbelltown for these volunteers’ contribution to our community,’’ the MP told parliament.
“I acknowledge the invaluable efforts and dedication of local Volunteer of the Year Award nominees, finalists and recipients living and working within the Campbelltown community.
“I thank Sandra McDonald, who received the overall 2016 Sydney South West-Macarthur Volunteer of the Year Award for her work with the Beautiful Minds Community Committee and with acute mental health unit.
“I also thank Stephen Cantrill of the Campbelltown Collegians Cricket Club, who received the Adult Volunteer of the Year Award, and Paul Norton and Andrew Macdonald, who accepted the award on behalf of the legends of the NSW Rural Fire Service Macarthur.’’
