So many local groups have a core number of volunteers quietly & thanklessly running the show. Groups like the P & C of our Local Schools, Laguna P & C Art Show, Progress, Valley Artists, Landcare, Tidy Valley, Laguna Hall, Bush Fire Brigade, Church members, Wollombi Fair, OON coordinators as well as our recreational activities in the Tennis Club, Cricket Club, Adult Riding Club & Pony Club to name but a few. Then we also have our fantastic local residents John Forsyth & Robbie Patterson volunteering not only their time but also their property for the use of so many others. We often take for granted the very things that most deserve our gratitude & silent gratitude is not much use to anyone. Activities undertaken by volunteers would often otherwise have to be funded by other means & volunteers don't get paid, not because they're worthless, but because they're priceless. It is not that volunteers necessarily have the time; they just have the heart. Volunteers help to build more cohesive communities, encouraging greater trust between citizens and developing solidarity and reciprocity that are essential to stable communities. These are the elements that make our Community special, which is often commented on by others. People care & have a wider vision, which they are willing to act upon. We may not always agree with their ideas but you have to admire their passion & effort. As a member of Wollombi Valley Pony Club, I know that our Club runs on the efforts of our volunteers, some of whom work tirelessly on a seemingly daily basis. Whether you “move one witches hat” or spend half the day moving a never ending number of heavy show jumps, we are grateful. Whether you make a cup of tea for a parched instructor or spend the whole day out in the sun instructing other people’s children, we are grateful. Take a moment to think about all the work done locally by volunteers & then image what it would be like without them. Not very pretty is it? Maybe next time you see someone doing a volunteer job, thank them. A pat on the back or a couple of lines in a newsletter is not really too much to ask. To quote Voltaire – “Appreciation is a wonderful thing. It makes what is excellent in others belong to us as well”. “Successful people are always looking for opportunities to help others. Unsuccessful people are always asking, “What’s in it for me?” – Brian Tracy Tanya Hardin Lynn Wall (DipRM, DipCM) Wollombi Massage & Health Service Remedial Massage, Chinese Massage Deep Tissue Muscle & Acupressure Therapy Hot Stone Massage, Workcover Australian Bush Flower Therapy Petrea King Graduate for "Cancer Massage & More" Phone 02 4998 3277 Mobile 0417 651372 Email: lynnywall@bigpond.com Massage details - http://www.wollombimassage.com Ken Maurer on 9413 1377 15
