Parades Don't Just 'Happen'

Countless Hours By Volunteers Makes For 'Success'

The 144th annual Empire Days Events highlighted by the crowd pleasing parade and fireworks over the harbour don't 'just happen', they are the result of countless hours freely given by community minded individuals, without whom, community would mean nothing.

The local Lions Club play a large part in seeing this weeks events come off without a hitch for the enjoyment of all, and are seldom given the thanks they deserve. If you notice, usually those filling those volunteer positions aren't getting any younger, and the community can only hope a new 'crop' of community minded individuals steps up and takes their place in years to come.

Without them, the community would be a much poorer place, and all I can say is 'Thank You and Hats Off for another job well done'!
