OVER his many years of club membership and community volunteering, Lloyd Healey has garnered numerous nominations and awards for his public-spirit, participation and hard work.
Involved in the Goulburn Valley Motor Vehicle Drivers Club for over 40 years, as well as being the long-time chairperson of the Shepparton Swap Meet, Lloyd has also assisted people in need, clear out sheds and set up for clearing sales, as a part of the Goulburn Valley Tractor and Machinery Club.
A proud and long-time resident of Congupna, Lloyd has also donated his energy to keeping the grass down around the town’s sporting facilities, in a neighbourly effort to ‘…keep the town looking nice as people drive through it,” he says.
Warmly granting that it is his good fortune to have his wife, Kris, join him with most of his endeavours, Lloyd offers humble and sage advice,
“When you get involved, you get a great deal of pleasure out of doing things for other people. I believe that when you are in a club, you’ve got to really be a part of it, you can’t just go for the ride.”
As a grandfather of six boys and one girl, Lloyd shares his community spirit with his grandchildren as he says,
“At the end of the day it’s an honour to receive an award, but I’ve never done anything expecting to win awards. Being involved is not about the win, it’s about the friendship and the experience.”
