SEVERAL volunteers at the Nhill Drought Resource Centre (NDRC) have been nominated for the 2008 Herald Sun, and Sunday Herald Sun Pride of Australia Medal in the ‘Mateship’ category.
For this small group of quiet achievers, the volunteer work they perform for those who use the NDRC has not gone unnoticed.
The NDRC group has been nominated in the Australian, or group of Australians category, who have demonstrated loyalty and goodwill to others, pulling together to achieve a common good, especially when times are tough.
Without a doubt these volunteers are truly deserving of their nomination. Their dedication to the NDRC is something that the whole Nhill and district community
can be proud.
The group of nominees is: Shona Hoffrichter, Helen Schwarz, Pauline McCracken, Susan Krelle & Carl Krelle.
Shona, Helen and Susan are volunteers from the Women’s Lounge Social Group, co-ordinated by West Wimmera Health Service social worker Pauline McCracken. Carl helps the group as a volunteer with the Social Work Department with Pauline.
The NDRC group has made it through to the final three nominated in their category.
The winners of the medals will be announced in Melbourne at the MCG on Tuesday, 21st October, 2008 and we wish them well in their nomination.
