Volunteer for Knox Manager Sally Dusting-Laird and Coordinator Mandy Limb celebrated Volunteer Managers with a Garden Party in the beautiful grounds of Coonara Community House on Tuesday 5 of April.
With the backdrop of Coonara’s stunning historic building and surrounded by lush gardens the setting was a perfect way to welcome guests.
Over 40 Volunteer Managers from Not for-Profit Volunteer Involving Organisations in the City of Knox joined in for a day of recognition and reflection on what has been a challenging two years throughout the pandemic.
Tables adorned with white table cloths and fresh flowers were scattered throughout the grounds, guests were seated and enjoyed fresh Seoul origin wraps, sweet treats and cool Ice Tea.
Mayor Susan Laukens and Dobson Ward Cr Meagan Baker joined in the celebrations in formerly thanking the amazing dedication and hard work of each and every Volunteer Manager.
As a token of Coonara’s appreciation, each guest received a certificate of appreciation and a T2 gift box and a specially designed cookie to take home.
Mandy Limb said, “This was a fabulous opportunity to reconnect face to face and finally share some of those trials and tribulations of lockdowns and network on ways to re-engage volunteers in a new Covid normal world.”
Volunteer for Knox can’t thank Volunteer Managers enough for the support, guidance and teamwork they have provided their Volunteers during the year. A celebration for achievements in leadership was just the boost needed to re-energise and focus on the year ahead.
