Dear Kathleen,

Thank you very much for comments. The Young Leaders Program is certainly a fantastic opportunity and it was great to see each of the participants gain so much from being involved in the program.

It was great to have the opportunity to officiate the proceedings. The standard process is for the Mayor to host these events but he was an apology for the evening providing me with the opportunity to present the awards and present the overview. Cr. Jo-anne Taylor also attended, Jo-anne is a great supporter of EV’s and we both try to attend each of the events they hold to provide support for younger people within Maroondah.

The EV’s Youth Centre hosts some amazing events for young people and I hope that these participants continue to be involved within our community.

Thanks,

Alex

What great life skills to be teaching our children. It is great to see schools and community groups promoting such valuable life skills. To give our kids the greatest chance in life is to build up their communication and confidence skills so they can explore every opportunity open to them with gusto. This world has a great deal to offer all of us when equipped with such things.

My compliments to you Alex for supporting the night.
