through charity work and many sporting and volunteering roles. Reception to thank volunteers Cardinia Shire's volunteers were recognised for their vital contribution at Council's annual volunteer reception last month. Coinciding with National Volunteer Week, the event acknowledges hundreds of volunteers across 560 organisations in the shire and gives Council an opportunity to thank volunteers for their contribution to the shire's diverse community. Cardinia Shire Mayor Cr Brett Owen said he was proud to spend the evening with so many dedicated volunteers, without whom our community groups and organisations would struggle to achieve their goals or deliver their services. "It takes a special kind of person to volunteer time and energy to serve others, without expecting monetary reward. Our volunteers do what they do because they are passionate about helping their local community," Cr Brett Owen said. "Council is proud to support this valuable contribution across all community sectors - from arts and culture groups to young people and children's organisations; from sporting and recreation groups to education and training; and from aged care and disability providers to emergency services."
