Last month the 2009 Rodney Community Service Awards were presented. Rodney Mayor Penny Webster thanked the award winners for their work in the community.
“While reading over the service histories of the 12 award winners I was struck by the fact that through their combined years of service to so many different organisations they have collectively touched the lives of hundreds of Rodney residents. These people really are local heroes.”
The Mayor says the ceremony was a good opportunity to celebrate the work of volunteers in the community. “There are thousands of other volunteers who provide unpaid service within the community to keep local facilities, service organisations and other groups operating and I would also like to thank them for their work.”
Two of our library vounteers were recipients of the award. The Libraries benefit from the generosity of many individuals in our communities. Our volunteers shelve books, check in returns, help out on the desks, deliver to Housebound Customers, cover the new books and mend the broken ones.
It's Volunteer Awareness Week this week so we're sending out an extra special thank you to all of our library vounteers.
