Happy Friday style!
It has been great to showcase all our different volunteer groups and region this week!

I learnt to volunteer from my parents - we grew up in a community at Bymount and all knew we were contributing to something bigger than ourselves and our own family.

I saw something recently that said "generosity is a privilege", and that resonated for me.

So to all those who volunteer for groups you are part of, on issues you are passionate about and for people who may never know what you did, this thank you is for you!

Our region is better because of your contribution.

❤️❤️Thank you!❤️❤️

Happy National volunteer week!

Our region wouldn't function without volunteers and we have so many fantastic organisations and committees always looking for volunteers. I have spent time on Goondiwindi Picnic Races committee, Gateway To Training and Care Goondiwindi, Tie Up the Black Dog Committee and loved it.

I thought the photo below was a great one to share in relation to volunteers - it was taken a few weeks ago at the de-commissioning of the Talwood Church. This group of people have done so much for our region!! Fund-raising, supporting community, stepping into executive roles, you name it! So to celebrate volunteer week, thank you to all those across the Visit Goondiwindi Region who volunteer your time for the betterment of our region. 🎉💖🌈💕👏
