A barbecue lunch, scones and a jazz band will be some of the attractions at a Bacchus Marsh event recognising Moorabool’s volunteers this month.
Running from May 19–25, National Volunteers Week is Australia’s largest annual volunteer recognition event, highlighting the vital role of volunteers in our communities.
To celebrate the week, Moorabool council will be hosting a free community event, from 11.30am to 1pm. on Friday, May 23. at The Village Green in Bacchus Marsh, offering a barbecue lunch, scones cooked by the Country Women’s Association, and live music performed by the local BaccBeat Jazz Band.
Moorabool mayor Paul Tatchell said it is “wonderful to have a dedicated yearly week for our volunteers, to take the time to recognise and celebrate the valuable contributions they make to our local community”.
“We have volunteers across all aspects of life in Moorabool – from our visitor information centre workers, our committees of management representatives, sporting groups, community groups – there are volunteers throughout Moorabool who are making a very positive difference to people’s lives,” Cr Tatchell said.
He said that the council is always welcoming new volunteers, and that if you are interested in finding volunteering opportunities, the council’s website has a volunteering page with local groups, current opportunities, and information on how to register interest.
The council’s National Volunteers Week event is open to all who would like to attend.
