Seniors week is an opportunity for seniors to engage in a range of activities and events, and one aspect that I look forward to in particular is celebrating the achievements of Wollondilly citizens through the Seniors Week Awards. I've received dozens of outstanding nominations, and in anticipation of the winner I would like to recognise some of those in the running. Evelyn McDonald is a founding member of the Wollondilly Riding for the Disabled. Situated at Tahmoor and in operation for thirty years, the riding school provides social therapy and recreation for disabled people of all ages and abilities. Evelyn previously held the role of treasurer for Tahmoor Primary School P and C, and currently for the riding school, and along with her husband has been a Meals on Wheels Volunteer for 20 years. Gail Hanger is the President of the NSW and ACT Association of Family History Societies, a position held for 10 years. She conducts monthly information sessions at the Picton & District Historical & History society of which she is also President, and is also a member of the Bargo History Group. Congratulations to Evelyn, Gail and many others on your nominations.
