Lalor Heroes
Joanne Ryan was very pleased to present 17 community members with a Lalor Heroes awards last night.
‘We are fortunate that our community has so many locals who give so generously of their time.’ said Ms Ryan
‘Having grown up in this community I know first-hand the value of those who go the extra mile, who take a personal passion and build from it to a shared passion, in some cases an organisation that adds to the lives of our residents and the fabric of our community.’ added Ms Ryan.
‘Becoming the Member for Lalor has increased my knowledge and understanding of those givers in our community. Of the incredible breadth and depth of community activity that is supported by these passionate people. The many hundreds who give of themselves to create interest in worthwhile pursuits that ultimately create our great community spirit.
I have spoken often in the parliament in the past twelve months about our great community spirit.
It is important to recognise those that value the community spirit enough to make a considerable contribution.’
‘That’s why I decided to initiate the Lalor Heroes volunteer awards.’ Said Ms Ryan
There has been an overwhelming response from sporting and community groups in nominating their ‘heroes’. Recipients came from sporting, community, scouting, support services and church groups.
