2007 Lismore Electorate Woman of the Year
Northern Rivers Echo 26 October 2006
2007 Lismore Electorate Woman of the Year
Nominations are now open for the 2007 Lismore Electorate Woman of the Year
awards. The awards recognise the achievements and leadership of women in
business and their local community.
As previous winners have shown, there are many in women in our local community
whose contributions, successes and achievements encourage and inspire those
around them. Honouring women for their contribution to our communities is an
important way of building the confidence and pride of all women, and encourages
other women and girls by publicly presenting role models
All nominees will be invited to a presentation function to announce the Lismore
Electorate Woman of the Year, who will also be presented with an engraved silver
goblet. An invitation will also be extended to the winner to attend the
Premier's Reception, (alongside other winners from across NSW) where the NSW
Woman of the Year will be announced.
Nominations forms are available from my Lismore Electorate Office. The closing
date for nominations is Wednesday 22 November 2006.
Rehabilitation Unit
I appreciate the support I have received from the community regarding the
Rehabilitation Unit. The outcome local representatives and Mayors have been
trying to achieve in regard to this issue is the delivery of rightly deserved
and greatly needed health services for regional residents. Please be assured I
will continue to pursue this issue until an appropriate outcome is achieved.

Daylight Saving commences this weekend on Sunday 29 October 2006 at 2.00am when
clocks are put forward one hour. It will continue until Sunday 25 March 2007 at
3.00am when clocks are put back one hour.
