Volunteer Thank You Night
May 19, 2025 @ 5:30 pm - 8:30 pm
Free
Following on from the success of past Volunteer Thank You Nights this year the event will be held at the Maryborough Harness Racing Club venue starting at 5.30pm on the 19th of May 2025.
We know our community has more than its fair share of exceptional volunteers!
Every year the Central Goldfields Shire, in partnership with the MVRG, puts on a ‘Volunteer Thank You Night’ during National Volunteer Week in May to celebrate the magnificent contributions our volunteers make.
Delicious finger food is provided and the format of the night changes each year, ranging from guest speakers, to panel discussions to individual story telling.
In 2024 many volunteers took to the microphone and voiced their personal, moving and humorous stories, based on their experiences.
You could hear a pin drop as these amazing stories unfolded, conveying the enormous personal rewards and benefits to be gained through volunteering.
This year’s event will be held at the Maryborough Harness Racing Club, starting at 5.30pm on Monday 19th May.
It will be a fun night, focusing on boosting connections between organisations and building relationships across the not-for-profit community.
Part of the evening will of course include an outline of the exciting recent funding announcement from FRRR that will see an investment of $1 million towards our grass roots not-for-profit groups.
There will be a free mini-bus available for those who will requiring transport to and from the Harness Racing Club.
Please spread the word and encourage as many volunteers as possible to attend – we know they are very enjoyable and engaging nights!
We know from research conducted here and across the nation that a vital component of maintaining a happy and active volunteering community is showing that we appreciate the work they do and that we reward this whenever possible.
Strong retention of volunteers is essential in a vibrant and healthy community and we need to ensure that Maryborough and surrounds are as welcoming and ‘liveable’ as possible.
