ATTENTION: Paluma Residents, Friends & Neighbours
DO YOU KNOW A LOCAL HERO?
This year our coastal neighbours from the Rollingstone Community Association have invited us to join them in launching a new and revamped initiative of the Townsville Northern Beaches (TNB) Local Hero Awards.
I have been assured that all of us mountain residents in the village of Paluma are considered to be an important part of the (hinterland) TNB community.
The Local Hero Awards are all about recognising individuals who make an outstanding contribution to their local community. Residents of Paluma are invited and encouraged to nominate someone from OUR local village community. Information has been provided by the Rollingstone Community Association as follows:-
Our aim is to celebrate the good works done by the pioneers of the TNB Communities selecting someone to become the “Local Hero” for the TNB for a year. We would like nominations to come from anyone in a community but the nominee MUST be over 65 years of age. We would like that their association with their community be a significant contribution over time and that it was delivered with sincerity and with absolute genuine good intention.
We will have a selection Committee; a winner (our TNB “Local Hero”) will be chosen and presented with a plaque and $200 cash, with smaller plaques going to the nominated Pioneer from each TNB community – NORTH of the Black River. This includes the village of Paluma!
We’d really like your input and support to make this project a success. PLEASE get behind it and spread the word within your communities and groups.
Please note that nominations are required by: COB on Friday 22 May 2019.
Send your nomination to: The Secretary, Rollingstone Community Association, 44 Community Crescent, Rollingstone QLD 4816 or send an email to: rollingstonetc@bigpond.com
