As a Newby to this area of volunteering I enjoyed the appreciation awards, the volunteers and organisers demonstrated a great sense of thriving for a common goal.
I really enjoyed the presentation. Great speakers to listen to with lots of slides, making it easy to see what is happening around our City. It was interesting to talk to other people from other volunteer groups in Mandurah area too.
The food was lovely and catered for all of our special needs, thank you for that.
Well put together making an enjoyable afternoon.
Thanks to the organisers Linda, Danny, Mel and Joanne. Well done.
Was very impressed with the wide variety of volunteer crews , esp those engaging the youth , our next generation of ‘vollies’
Lisa was ‘the bomb’.
All the speakers rocked , George is the MAN , always has been .
Rhys ‘showed off’ with his brilliant handling of the Aboriginal language , very impressive !
Great event , congrats to all .
Terrific event which highlighted the amazing diversity of volunteering organisations present in Mandurah.
The speakers were interesting and there was a great vibe of passion from all who attended. The food was extremely yummy and perfect portion sizes. Everything went very smoothly, a credit to to the organising committee.
Mandurah is an amazing environmental hotspot with a rich First Peoples history and presence! Environmental volunteers play a crucial role in preserving and protecting our environment in a wide range of areas, from animal care, dune rehabilitation and litter cleanups to community gardens and being activists for environmental causes. Volunteers do not spend their time doing this to receive recognition, but Sundays National Volunteer Week event was a wonderful way to celebrate each individual volunteer and the groups they are part of. Well done Mandurah vollies!!
Wonderful event. We are so lucky nature wants to be part of our neighbourhood and the wonderful groups of volunteers who are so giving of knowledge and time here in Mandurah and surrounds
