The lunch was held on Thursday, 5 December, to celebrate International Volunteer Day, which promotes the important role volunteers play in our community.

More than 140 volunteers from numerous groups including local fire brigades, library groups, wildlife carers, seniors’ groups, sporting clubs and community and progress associations attended the free lunch at Byford & Districts Country Club.

Shire President Michelle Rich thanked all volunteers for their contribution to the community over the past 12 months.

“The skills, advice, experience, friendship, leadership and inspiration volunteers give to our community is valued, and many local community groups simply would not exist without their assistance,” Cr Rich said.

“I thank each and every volunteer for their hard work and for making Serpentine Jarrahdale a spirited community and a great place to live.

“All of your actions, regardless of how big or small, are making a difference.”

Residents who know a deserving volunteer within the local community can nominate them for the Shire’s Volunteer Recognition Program throughout the year.

The monthly winner receives a $100 voucher to a local restaurant of their choice.
