Community Awards nomination in mind? Do it now!

You know that person in your circle who always has the back of you or your friends and acquaintances when there’s a problem? Who, usually quietly, offers support, friendship, or just takes charge when necessary?

Or there’s the person who gives spare time constantly to helping with a community or charitable organisation? Or a network of people who keep things going in the community, simply because they want to?

Then there are groups, small and larger, who help out as fundraisers for a cause, often in a ‘pop-up’ fashion for a specific need. They too don’t do it for the fame, but because it’s in their nature to do the right thing when it needs to be done.

Kilcullen has a large cohort of such people and groups. And now is the community’s chance to acknowledge what they do. If you know someone who fits any of those descriptions — or any other community good situation — nominate them for the annual KCA Kilcullen Community Awards. This year the Awards will be presented on Thursday 3 November, in Kilcullen Heritage Centre.

A nomination can be given to any member of KCA/Tidy Towns, or emailed to kilcullencommunityaction@gmail.com. This year the nominations for the Awards will be managed by an independent panel drawn from the community.

Do it now.
