OAM for Pat The only question you could reasonably ask about Pat McMahon being awarded a Medal in the Order of Australia (OAM) is why it took so long. Pat, a longtime Lambton resident, was awarded her OAM in the King’s Birthday Honours in June after more than 60 years of tireless community service. Pat has been an active member, board member, volunteer co-ordinator, honorary secretary, secretary manager, vice president and president of many, many local community groups and organisations dating back to the early 1960s. The local groups that Pat is or has been involved with over the years include Lambton - New Lambton RSL Sub-Branch Women’s Auxiliary, the War Widows Association, New Lambton RSL Club, New Lambton Chamber of Commerce, (continued on page 5) Left: Lambton’s Patricia McMahon was awarded an OAM in the King’s Birthday Honours.
