VOLUNTEERS make our world go round and on Monday, May 15, The Greater Shepparton Volunteer Recognition Awards distinguished some of the region’s most outstanding volunteers.
Held at Riverlinks Eastbank, the event was attended by 240 people who watched as three community members and one community group were officially recognised for their exceptional volunteer work in supporting the Greater Shepparton community.
Awards were presented in four categories:
2023 Young Volunteer: Kimberley Chu
2023 Adult Volunteer: Norman Davis
2023 Team Volunteer: Mooroopna Football Netball Club
2023 Long Serving Volunteer: Gregory Pell
This year marked the 14th anniversary of the awards, and it attracted a significant number of nominations. The nominees dedicated their time to various organisations, service clubs, and sporting groups throughout the region.
“While each volunteer contribution is unique, they are all deserving of our recognition and thanks. Greater Shepparton relies on volunteers and any opportunity we have to acknowledge their efforts is fantastic,” said mayor, Cr Shane Sali.
The ceremony was a testament to the spirit of volunteerism and the invaluable contributions made by individuals and groups in the Greater Shepparton community.
