DUBBO DAY AWARDS CELEBRATE COMMUNITY SERVICE AND DEDICATION Nominations are now open for the Dubbo Day Awards which are presented to local volunteers each November on the anniversary of Dubbo’s gazettal as a village in 1849. “The awards are a great way to recognise local citizens who have, over a period of time, carried out community work which has improved the quality of life for individuals or the local community as a whole,” Council’s Administrator, Michael Kneipp, said. “Think of all the people you know who are volunteering for the benefit of others –
sporting coaches/administrators, school or day-care assistants, charity workers and people who work with people with disabilities,” Mr Kneipp said. Nominations will close at 5.00pm on 25 October 2017. An online nomination form will be available on the Dubbo Regional Council website or the form can be downloaded, completed and returned to Council. A ceremony for the winners will be held on 23 November 2017 at the Dubbo Regional Theatre and Convention Centre.
