Noms open for seniors of the year
West Wimmera residents are welcome to nominate their "senior heroes" as the shire council seeks to recognise its Senior Citizen of the Year.
Winners are often someone who continues to be active in the community and encourages others to do the same.
They have a positive attitude towards aging and community wellbeing.
Mayor Tim Meyer said there were many people in the region who made an outstanding contribution to their community.
“Many of us know someone who we think should receive some thanks for their strong contribution, positive attitude and being a great role model,” he said.
“If they are also aged over 60, this is an excellent opportunity to nominate them for
Senior Citizen of the Year."
Nomination forms are available online at westwimmera.vic.gov.au. Forms can also be collected from the customer service centres at Edenhope and Kaniva.
Nominations will close at 5pm on Friday August 30.
The winner will be announced at West Wimmera Shire Council’s Seniors Concert in
Edenhope on October 24.
