St John Celebrates Awards Day…!
Among other worthy recipients, St John member Victor Kollosche
will be
awarded
the Gilt Laurel for 57 years efficient
service. Awards Day is a time to acknowledge and celebrate the
generous contribution that St John Volunteers make to the
South Australian Community.
His Excellency Rear Admiral Kevin Scarce AO CSC RANR, Governor
of South Australia, will present the highest awards on the day
including awards to members who have provided
57, 47, 42, 37,
& 32 years of efficient service to St John in addition to the
Grand Prior Awards
–
the highest award attainable by youth
members.
‘St John Volunteers work long hours and not always in the
ideal situation or weather conditions, but despite this
they
continue to support the community’ said
Jo Bell, St John
Executive Manager Volunteer Services.
Over the past year, the South Australian St John Volunteers
have been on duty at the Football, Clipsal 500, Tour down
Under, Big Day Out, and the City to Bay Fun Run to name just a
few of the events that we attend,
and earlier this
year St
John supported CFS Volunteers during the Victorian bushfires.
‘As an organisation we are extremely fortunate to have so many
dedicated, committed and enthusiastic volunteers who engage in
a range of activities from First Aid Services, Cadets,
Training, Community Care Programs, The St John Band,
Logistics, and Communications, to name a few.’
continued Ms
Bell.
