SOCIAL SCENE

The GC’s devoted volunteers usually do their selfless work far from the spotlight, so it’s great that they have one big night for themselves

INTERNATIONAL VOLUNTEERS DAY GALA DINNER Southport Sharks, Parkwood

TO MARK International Volunteer Day, Volunteering Services Australia hosted a gala dinner and awards night at Southport Sharks on Tuesday night to recognise and reward those among us who go above and beyond in service to the community. More than 300 people attended, with 100 nominations received for the five specialised categories. While not everyone can attain an award they are all winners simply for their selfless devotion to helping others.
