Volunteers’ night More than 130 community members gathered at The J on Queensland Day to celebrate 61 outstanding volunteers whose dedication, generosity and community spirit help make Noosa such a special place to live. Hosted by Independent MP Noosa Sandy Bolton the annual Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards recognise local volunteers who give their time, skills and expertise to support others and strengthen our community. Representing a broad range of organisations and causes across the electorate, this year’s re-
cipients included volunteers from sporting clubs, environmental groups, community support organisations, cultural and heritage groups, animal welfare organisations and many others. Guests were welcomed by a fantastic performance from the St Teresa’s Catholic College Stage Band before former Mayor Bob Abbott and local school captain Amelia Nevett took to the stage as Masters of Ceremonies, sharing the stories and achievements of this year’s recipients. Since their inception, the Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards have recognised hun-
dreds of local volunteers whose efforts often go unseen, but whose impact is felt right across our community. The awards are proudly presented by Sandy Bolton MP with sponsorship support from Cooroy RSL and Noosa Today. Ms Bolton thanked recipients, their families and the many organisations that nominated volunteers this year for helping make the awards such a special occasion. “These awards are always one of the highlights of the year because they provide an opportunity
to recognise the incredible people who quietly give so much of themselves for others,” Ms Bolton said. “This year’s recipients alone have collectively contributed 679 years of volunteer service to our community, which is an extraordinary achievement and one that deserves to be celebrated.” The Noosa MP said the awards were a reminder of the important role volunteers play in strengthening communities across Queensland.
