Mr HAYES
(Werriwa) (1.48
p.m.)—Volunteers play a very important role in our community by
making sure that events run smoothly and that individuals and groups
are supported and protected from harm. In recognition of the hard
work that volunteers put in each week, without fuss and, for many,
without recognition, I take this opportunity to refer to the
certificates of appreciation that I presented last week to various
groups in my community. It was an important opportunity to recognise
the efforts of individuals who give of themselves so freely to make
sure that sporting and community events are supported and run
smoothly and that people receive assistance when they need it.
Volunteers so often do things that many of us would simply take for
granted. The volunteers whom I had the opportunity to recognise
included people from the Minto Heights Bush Fire Brigade, Myrtle
Cottage, South West Community Transport, United Kempo, Argyle
Community Housing, Ingleburn Country Women’s Association, the
Ingleburn Alive Festival Committee, the Macquarie Fields Local Area
Command, the Good News Community Group, Blue Hills Retirement
Village, St John Ambulance, Liverpool SES, the Multiple Births
Association, the Vietnam Veterans Association and the Campbelltown
and Airds Historical Society. Without the efforts that these people
put in— (Time expired)
