EMERALD ROTARY AWARDED COMMUNITY GROUP OF THE YEAR

 
The Rotary Club of Emerald & District has been awarded the Emerald Village Association’s inaugural Community Group of the Year award at the EVA’s annual community meeting held at the Hills Hub on 24 November. 
 
In accepting the award, President of the Rotary Club of Emerald and District Shalini Penny said she was thrilled the club had been acknowledged for its work in supporting the local community.
 
“I am delighted to accept this award on behalf of our members, many of whom dedicate many hours each week making a positive difference in the lives of people who live in Emerald and surrounding suburbs,” Shalini said.
 
“It is wonderful to be recognised for our work which is vast, covering the young, the elderly, schools and the community as a whole.
 
“While we haven’t been able to run many of our programs and signature fund-raising events during the past two years because of COVID restrictions, we have continued to support the community during these challenging times, in particular, helping those impacted by the pandemic and recent storms.”
