The Ocean Grove Rotary Club, Community Service Awards, are back and welcoming nominations for a business or person who positively contributes to their community.
Ocean Grove Rotary president Peter Cowburn said the Club took great pride in awarding recipients for their hard work within the community.
“Personally, I think that they just offer the opportunity for businesses and trainees to be recognised within the community for the good stuff they do,” he said.
The Club will provide awards to people or business groups across the areas; apprentice or trainee of the year, small business excellence award, team member of the year, and volunteer organisation.
Mr Cowburn said the Club had hosted the awards since 2014 and felt honoured to be a part of the process this year.
“It’s just a good program we’ve run and recognises people and businesses that provide good service to the community,” he said.
“The Club is delighted to continue being able to present these awards which are sponsored by businesses and groups within the area.”
Mr Cowburn said the announcement date for the awards had yet to be officially confirmed but believed they would be awarded around the middle of May.
Ocean Grove Rotary will also hold an awards night where the winners and runner-ups will be presented with a financial award in front of friends, family and community members.
The Club serves the communities of Queenscliff, Point Lonsdale, Barwon Heads, Marcus Hill, Wallington and Ocean Grove.
Nominations for the community service awards will close on May 1. People can submit nominations for a person or business at www.rotaryoceangrove.org.au/community-service-awards-links.
