Mayor's Message
Next week marks National Volunteers Week (15 – 21 May), where we will join thousands of groups and organisations recognising the contribution volunteers make across Australia.
This year’s theme is ‘The Change Makers’ which encourages people to be the change that they want to see and get involved in volunteering in whatever way works for them.
The contribution of volunteers is significant and the impact volunteers have wide reaching.
During National Volunteers Week we are celebrating the efforts of our valued volunteers and all they contribute to our local communities. The work volunteers do has never been more important.
Next week we will be celebrating Council’s volunteers as we gather together and also recognising volunteers more broadly across our community.
We are also looking forward to our huge Volunteer Connections Event on 27 May at Gippsland Performing Arts Centre from 9.00am to 1.00pm for those interested in learning
more about local volunteering opportunities.
Volunteering is clearly close to the hearts of many in our community.
The work undertaken by volunteers is essential.
Thank you to everyone for their efforts and dedication. Volunteering brings people together; it builds communities and creates a better place for everyone to be a part of.
Cr Kellie O’Callaghan
Mayor of Latrobe City Council
