Long-time community leader steps down

Bays Community Group president Mr Bob Puffett has announced he will not be standing for re-election after 15 years in the position.

"I have been fortunate to have been the president of The Bays Community Group for some 15 years and during that time I have had the pleasure to work with some dedicated, fantastic and talented committee members," Mr Puffett said.

"The Bays is a beautiful community in one of the most scenic places in Australia," he said.

"I sincerely believe that over the past years together with the committee, we have made this a stronger community with a community hall that is the envy of many like organisations.

"Together we have made a difference," he said.

Mr Puffett said he encouraged other residents of the Bays to join the committee.

"Volunteering to undertake community work is most gratifying and personally rewarding and I would encourage you to consider making a contribution to this community and to stand for election to the executive committee at next year's annual general meeting in February," he said.

Mr Puffett thanked the community for its support and encouragement over many years.

"I was honoured to serve this community for so long," he said.

Mr Puffett said he would continue to volunteer and support the Bays activities into the future. Newsletter, 14 Dec 2016 Bob Puffett, The Bays Community Group
