Supporting our amazing volunteers by Kevin Hogan MP
Supporting our amazing volunteers
Our communities would cease to function without the many hours of work put in by volunteers and the various clubs and associations they belong to.
Recently I’ve been able to assist with Volunteer Grants to support these groups to help purchase new equipment, or in some cases, replace items damaged in the floods.
The successful applicants for 2023 are: 1st Iluka Scout Group, 2nd Casino Scout Group,
Scouts Club, Lismore Croquet Club, Lismore Rugby Club, Lismore Thistles Soccer Club, Nana Glen Memorial Hall, Northern Districts Rebels Cricket Club, Grafton Girl Guides, Northern Rivers Flood Action Group, Grafton Basketball Association, Iluka/Woombah Rotary, Casino Little Athletics,Woolgoolga Red Cross, Woolgoolga Athletics Club, Tomki RFS, Kyogle Boxing Club, South Lismore Celtics Football Club and the Red Rock Corindi SLSC.
King’s Birthday honours
It was great to see some of our outstanding citizens recognised in our very first King’s Birthday holiday honours.
Congratulations and thanks to you all.
The Australian Fire Service Medal was awarded to long-time RFS worker Stephanye Holden of Ashby. Wooli Marine Rescue stalwart Jacquelyn Taffs received the Emergency Services Medal and a Public Service Medal was awarded to Alstonville’s Stuart Campbell for his efforts coordinating the disaster response and recovery after the Northern Rivers Floods.
