Mary Mac's volunteers recognised

Two volunteers from Mary Mac's Place were recognised for their commitment and dedication to the local community at the Rotary Club of Woy Woy Community Service Awards on May 25.

Local volunteers Ms Mary Scarf and Ms Dorothea Campbell each received an award for their outstanding contribution to the local service of Mary Mac's Place.

Project coordinator Ms Robyn Schacht said that both Mary and Dorothea had made an enormous contribution to the success of the organisation over an extended period of time. "Mary has been a volunteer with the organisation for over 18 years, during which time she has worked in every area of need, in addition to sitting as a member of the Mary Mac's Place Steering Committee and raising much-needed funds," Ms Schacht said.

"Dorothea has been a volunteer for eight years and has made a major contribution to Mary Mac's in terms of assisting companions with meals and a broad range of welfare support and referral issues."

During the evening, Rotary club president Mr Peter Clark presented a plaque and cheque to assist Mary Mac's Place with its ongoing expenses.
