Do you know someone who deserves recognition for their hard work volunteering?
The time is now to acknowledge these individuals and groups with applications open for the 2018 Casey Volunteer Awards.
Nominations will be open until Friday 20 June at 3pm. The annual awards encompass five categories and honour individuals, groups and organisations who dedicate themselves to the Casey community or have had a positive impact on the quality of life of local residents.
City of Casey Mayor Cr Geoff Ablett encouraged people to nominate and regarded the awards as an important Council program.
“The Casey Volunteer Awards allow Council and the wider community to recognise the tireless efforts of certain individuals and groups who dedicate their time to ensure Casey is a better place,” he said.
“It is important that we acknowledge the invaluable input of the people in our community who ensure that others have access to services or programs that may not otherwise be available to them.”
The five categories that individuals or groups can nominate, or be nominated for include:
• 2018 Casey Individual Volunteer Award
• 2018 Casey Young Volunteer Award
• 2018 Casey Volunteering Pair Award
• 2018 Casey Volunteer Group Award
• 2018 Casey Volunteering Organisation Award
An awards ceremony will be held at Bunjil Place on Friday 27 July to announce the award recipients.
