We had the most amazing Youth Week celebration this year. I must congratulate the 23 award nominees on their fabulous contribution to our wonderful community. I commend the winners of the awards, Youth Citizen, Highly Commended, Sports Volunteer and Brighter Future Awards. They are all very worthy of the accolades for the work they do in the community. The talent we have in Forbes is so amazing and I thank all the wonderful artists who performed.
I met with the organisation, Boys to the Bush this week. They are a not-for-profit organisation working with disengaged boys. One of the co-founders is Adam Demamiel - a local boy. Their mission is to provide an environment and opportunity for young males to learn the importance of becoming a good bloke. Watch this space, there will be an information night soon. Take a look at the website www.boystothebush.com.au
The Camel Races will be on Good Friday. What an amazing family day out, it truly has something for everyone and draws a huge crowd from all over NSW.
Easter is a wonderful time for families. Fishing, camping or just getting together to enjoy each other's company. Please be careful if you are enjoying our beautiful waterways. For those that are travelling on our busy roads, please take care. Make sure you "stop, revive and survive" and take advantage of the Free Cuppa for the Driver.
Easter is also a great celebration for our Christian community with services over the Easter break. Enjoy!
God Bless. Your Mayor Phyllis Miller
