Awards presented to Meals on Wheels volunteers

Tumby Bay Meals on Wheels presented service awards to volunteers last month.

Branch chairperson Denise Chapman expressed gratitude to all recipients and those present for their time and effort, which made the service possible for those in the community who receive it.

One-year service awards were provided for Gladys Fleming, Jill Wilson and Gaye Fuller.

Five-year awards went to Rachel Anesbury, Bev Burford, Megan Carr, Eric Kotz, Kaylene Kotz, Jan Powell, Ross Powell and Nancy Stewart.

There were 15-year awards for Kerry Lawrie and Rosalie Lawrie, with 20-year awards for Joanne Higgins, Margaret James, Peter Poole and Judy Tierney.

A 25-year service award was presented to Marlene Poole.

Several recipients and members were unable to attend on the day, but their efforts were appreciated.

A delicious Christmas lunch was enjoyed following the awards.
