More than 150 local volunteers in the Shire of Murray have been recognised for their service this week, with two people celebrating 40 years of service.
The function, at the Exchange Hotel, saw nominees awarded certificates of recognition for reaching five, 10, 20, 30, 40-year milestones, while many others received an award of outstanding contribution.
The milestone awards for 40 years were awarded to Don Butler and Brian Henderson for their support for the Hotham Valley Railway.
Rae Endersby was also awarded an outstanding contribution award for her 35 years of invaluable service at the Murray District Hospital.
Rae has been a cornerstone of the hospital’s fundraising efforts, dedicating her time, energy, and unwavering commitment to fundraise for
patient items and equipment.
Shire President Douglas McLarty said the event was a small way that the Shire can give thanks to the volunteers in the community.
“We are incredibly fortunate to have so many volunteers who give their time and energy to Murray. Their contributions play a vital role in supporting and connecting our community,” said Mr McLarty.
“These long-standing volunteers, along with many others within our community work tirelessly behind-the-scenes, solely for the betterment of our community. And for that we are immensely grateful."
