The first awards for the day went to a group of ladies who, for many years, have worked very closely together.

They were asked to come forward and stay on the stage together.  Their names?

Currently Alison is on the executive of committees too numerous to mention at this time - she is however President of the Dayboro Show Society Ladies Auxiliary.
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR AWARD
EDNA WRUCK
Edna’s community involvement totals in excess of 65 years - an amazing effort and co-incidentally she hails from the same area as the previous group of hard working volunteers.
Barely out of her teens Edna was President of the CWA ‘Younger Set’ and from there was always an integral part of the community. From organising the set up of the first school tuck shop to participation in the co-ordination of Debutante Balls, to catering and even more catering. There does not seem to be a Community Group in the area that has not had the benefit of Edna’s involvement over the years.
Edna enthusiastically promotes the game of Bowls having proved a natural from her introduction to the sport in 1984. Edna has been instrumental in keeping the Bowls Club financially afloat while maintaining a social outlet in the community.
Amongst other honours Edna is the Patroness of the Dayboro Ladies Bowling Club, was presented with Life Membership of the Dayboro Show Society in 2000, she was awarded the Bicentennial Medal in 2001 and was named Dayboro Resident of the Year in 2010.   A magnificent example to all of us.
