Noosa Qld Day Awards highlight all that’s great about our community
Where would we be without our volunteer workforce?
On June 6, we celebrated Queensland Day right across this great state. In Noosa, a deserving bunch of volunteers were honoured at the Noosa Electorate Queensland Day Awards at The J.
A total of 42 people, from a broad range of community and business sectors including community associations, professional services, sporting clubs, regional events and local initiatives, received a Queensland Day medallion and certificate of appreciation.
Older people are indeed over-represented in the volunteering community, but the ceremony also showcased a younger, emerging group of volunteers. The concert band from St. Teresa’s Catholic College shared their musical talents to treat the audience to an entertaining variety of songs to kick off proceedings.
Young and old, community members celebrated the spirit of our community and our collective dedication to protecting our unique culture. Virtually every person who lives in Noosa has made a conscious decision to come here and having made that decision have joined a not for profit group of their choice to give back.
Since its inception four years ago, one of the awards major sponsors has been Bendigo Bank. Cooroy and Pomona branch’s Simone Flavelle and Tewantin Noosa branch manager, Linda Oliver and joined the celebration, and Simone said partnering the Member for Noosa, Sandy Bolton’s awards continues to be an easy decision.
“Our point of difference is our connection with our community and many of them were represented at the awards again this year,” Simone shared.
“The fact that our Noosa branches in Cooroy, Pomona and Tewantin work so closely with so many of them makes it all the more special. We return profits to where we all live and work. It’s still our point of difference and why our customers choose to bank with us at Bendigo Bank,” she said.
