Marie hosts her final concert

Member for Gosford Ms Marie Andrews will host her final Seniors Week Concert in the senior citizens' centre at Ettalong on Wednesday, March 23.

After that, she is handing over the running of the concerts to Member for Robertson Ms Deborah O'Neill.

"In my past 16 years as a local member, the Seniors Week Concerts have become a real highlight in our community calendar," said Ms Andrews.

"They've grown to the point that they are now the single biggest Seniors Week event on the Central Coast.

"I want to leave the organisation of this event with someone who I know will bring the same caring spirit to the concerts, and I think Deb is the perfect person for that job," she said.

Ms O'Neill said she was humbled to be asked.

"It's an honour and a privilege for Marie to entrust me with the future organisation of these concerts," said Ms O'Neill.

"Marie has been a wonderful role model for me as a new member of parliament - in the care and compassion she shows for her constituents, particularly our seniors.

"I will do my very best to maintain her legacy by continuing this tradition," said Ms O'Neill.

With inquiries, phone Marie Andrews office on 4342 4122.
