Club members win awards

Five members of the Rotary Club of Woy Woy were recognised by the State Government when they attended an awards event at Parliament House in Sydney on November 29, for volunteers who took part in Graffiti Removal Days.

The recipients were: Maggie Payne, Vic Brown, John Greenway, John Steinbeck and Russell Grove.

The club, with the assistance from the public, has removed or painted over more than 100 square metres of graffiti in the Peninsula area.

This is the fifth year that the club has been involved, with Mr Greenway has been coordinating local campaign throughout this period.

His award was for an outstanding contribution to the community.

"This vandalism, costs the State many millions of dollars and is a criminal offence that could get the offender a fine of $1100.00 or six months in prison," said Mr Greenway.

The awards were presented by NSW Attorney General Mr Mark Speakman, Minister for Police and Emergency Services Mr Troy Grant and Government Whip in the Legislative Council Ms Natasha McLaren-Jones,
