Australia Day 2008 nominations
Helen Keller once said, "The world is moved along, not only by the mighty shoves of its heroes, but also by the aggregate of the tiny pushes of each honest worker."
Do you know someone who you think is worthy of an Australia Day nomination? Or is there a local organisation or community event that stands out for you as being worthy of a nomination? Then we want you to put pen to paper and fill in a nomination form for the Australia Day 2008 Awards.
Australia Day is a day to celebrate what it means to be Australian. Last year, Australia Day throughout Strathbogie Shire was bigger than ever. Euroa will be the host of the Shire wide awards in 2008. Celebrations will also be held in the various communities across the Shire.
The closing date for nominations to be received by local Australia Day Committees is 15 November 2007. Nomination forms are available from your local Committee Members, by downloading from the Strathbogie Shire website - www.strathbogie.vic.gov.au or by contacting Jodi Bjorksten, Grants Coordinator at the Council office in Euroa.
