In celebration of International Volunteer Day, Dr Mike Freelander MP is holding a Volunteer Awards Day to thank and recognise the volunteers of Macarthur. Oftentimes the efforts of volunteers go unrecognised, so Dr Freelander is asking local organisations to nominate worthy volunteers to receive Mike’s Certificate of Appreciation, for volunteers based in the Macarthur region.
“This is a unique opportunity to say thank you to the many selfless men and women who contribute so much to the community, making the Macarthur region such a fantastic place to live and work. ”
”I am immensely proud of the volunteer effort in Macarthur. There are many organisations that are vital to our Macarthur community which are run off the backs of our generous volunteers.”
“I’ve seen firsthand the selflessness and kindness of these volunteers. I’ve worked alongside many volunteers during my time as a paediatrician and an MP. The services they provide for our community are invaluable and deserve to be recognised.”
In Australia, over 6 million people volunteer every year. Macarthur is home to many of these volunteers as well as the charity and non-for-profit organisations that allow this work to come to fruition.
The Volunteers Awards Ceremony will be held on the 22nd of November 2018. If you would like to nominate a worthy volunteer to receive Mike’s Certificate of Appreciation, visit https://drmikefreelander.com.au/event-notice-board/volunteer-recognition-day/ and submit the application online.
If you have any questions regarding the Certificate of Appreciation, or the application process, please contact Dr Freelander’s office on (02) 4620 0293 or [email protected].
