Today, 25
October 2005, Margaret May, MP, Federal Member for McPherson,
presented 50 community volunteers from the McPherson electorate
with "2005 McPherson Community Contribution Awards"
at the Trinity Anglican Church, Robina.
The ceremony was hosted by Margaret May and her staff with Mr
Paul Broughton, Chairman of Gold Coast Titans, as MC. A very nice
morning was had by all with the worthy recipients and their guests.
The Church Ladies Auxiliary provided a lovely morning tea.
Two Burleigh Heads Sub-Branch members received Certificates for
their tireless contribution to the community over many years.
Our worthy recipients were Russ Roland, the current President
of the Gold Coast TPI Association, and Alistair McColl, past Senior
Vice President of the Sub-Branch. Congratulations to both Members
and the other forty-eight recipients; well done and thank you!
I must make mention of our Federal Member for McPherson, Margaret
May, who instituted these awards some years ago on being elected
to the seat of McPherson. She saw the need for all these unsung
volunteers in our community to gain some sort of worthy recognition
for their invaluable contribution. A huge thanks must go to Margaret
and her staff, Jo, Krystyna and Gwen who always go to a lot of
effort to vet the nominations and for all the hard work that they
put into organizing these events. Again, thank you! |
