VOLUNTEER GROUPS: GB Community Arts

SUBMITTED

I'm Claire, arts worker of the Golden Bay Community Arts Council.

In recognition of the recent National Volunteer week I'd like to give a huge shout out to our volunteers who help the arts council. Without these key people we couldn't achieve what we do.

A huge player is Robert Hewison of Green Grass Accounting. He is our treasurer and pays the bills, does the financial reporting and completes many random requests from me when I need special things for my funding applications. As a busy person he always delivers and never flaps and is just a genuinely nice person to boot. Thank you Robert – I really could not do this without you.

Another shout out is to Brian Cooper, our chairperson. He jumped in as chairperson after I begged him to be my boss. It's not an easy task and he has been an amazing support for me, on both a personal and practical level.

New to the team is superstar John Coulter who recently joined the council. He

has offered excellent feedback, useful ideas, resources, support and great suggestions and brings lots of experience and passion to the role. Thank you John.

Thanks to our movers and shakers of Bay Art: Kathy Reilly and Marg Braggins, and Sarah Thomas for Young@Art. Without these women these events would not happen. They put in a huge amount of work.

Thanks to all of the voluntary arts council: Deb Morris, Murray Hedwig, Sam Cole and

Marg Braggins, GB Promotion Assocation representative.

A big thank you to all of our volunteers, too many to mention here. We are really grateful for every minute of your precious time. We literally had hundreds of people involved in the recent Community Light Festival and have had thousands of people involved in our community events.

It takes a village, and what a fantastic village we have.

A $25 Take Note voucher will be awarded to the first correct solution drawn.

Entries can be left at Stitch 'n Sew, or scanned and emailed to admin@gbweekly.co.nz by midday on Tuesday 25 July.
