Volunteers from the City of Wanneroo’s heritage and library services were acknowledged at an appreciation dinner on Fri 5 October in celebration of their hard work and commitment to the wider community
Mayor Tracey Roberts said it was important to take time out to thank our dedicated community members, and show gratitude for their commitment.
“The City could not deliver all the fantastic services and programs for our residents and visitors without our volunteers,” Mayor Roberts said.
“We are proud and humbled by the continued commitment our volunteers provide to our residents, and appreciation events provide us an opportunity to acknowledge their outstanding service,” she said.
