FAUNA wins community environmental award

The Star Regional Business, Apprenticeship and Training Awards 2009 were held on Satruday the 31st October 2009.

FAUNA was nominated for the Environmental Award for Community and was the successful candidate.

Sue Holmes and Jacqui Blanch attended the evening and a slightly stunned Sue accepted the award on FAUNA's behalf.

When interviewed, FAUNA's president, Sheree Crawford, said "it's really wonderful to receive this kind of acknowledgement from the local community, our service will continue to be provided regardless of awards, however, a pat on the back is much appreciated".

Also on the night, one of FAUNA's members, Patti Jaenke received the Mayoral Award for Services to the Community. Congratulations to Patti from everyone at FAUNA
