Knight Commander  (KCSOL)


KCSOL.

    Sir Doug Bibby KSOL
(Geraldton, WESTERN AUSTRALIA)
Elevated to the Rank of Knight Commander of the Serene Order of Leonard
for
his ongoing and outstanding work within the local community by his efforts and in his role as Warehouse Manager, Foodbank, Geraldton, Western Australia.
Sir Doug was first recognized in the PHR Honours list back in the New Year list in 2009, and has now been with Geraldton Foodbank for approx 8 years, with the first 12 months or so as an unpaid volunteer. Sir Doug is responsible for the movement of over 40 tonne of foodstuff a month, ensuring that it is correctly shipped in and out (and sorted and stored in the meantime) every single day and that equates to overseeing the supply of over 1.2 million meals throughout the Mid-West of the State in his time with Foodbank-Geraldton. In supporting the Breakfast for all kids program, Sir Doug ships out breakfasts to 32 schools every week, supplying breakfast to approx 900 students per day, that equates to 4500 breakfasts each and every week!
Certainly a hard working and deserving member of the community and one who puts in far more hours and efforts than for which he is paid!

DGCSOL
Dame Grand Commander  (DGCSOL)
DGCSOL
    Dame Pat Hodges DCSOL
(Geraldton, WESTERN AUSTRALIA)
Elevated to the Rank of  Dame Grand Commander of the Serene Order of Leonard for her outstanding dedication to her community and her grand performance as Manager of
Foodbank - Geraldton, Western Australia.

Dame Pat was first recognized in the PHR Honours list back in the 2009 New Year list.
Today she has nine years as full time manager under her belt, two of those years an unpaid volunteer. Dame Pat is the one that makes it all happen. Putting together and managing a team of both paid staff and volunteers, accepting, managing and training as well as supervising manpower placed in her care by the Dept of Justice with people serving out their Community Service time and others placed by Centrelink as part of an individual's responsibility under the "Work for the Dole" scheme of the Australian Commonwealth Govt. Dame Pat continually manages to maintain control whilst all is flying around her whilst at the same time she is also responsible for "finding" a lot of the stock that makes its way into the Foodbank-Geraldton warehouse and if Pat knows it's there, then Pat will get it!
Constantly bringing in new programs and ideas to help those in need, Dame Pat and her team constantly find innovative ways to assist those who most need it.

Dame Pats ongoing care and support of her fellow man, giving far more of her time and attention than she is paid to provide makes her the ideal recipient of
on-going recognition!

  AWARDED TO:

Ethnic Communities Council of Western Australia Inc
(North Perth - WESTERN AUSTRALIA)

ECCWA is Western Australia’s peak ethnic body. It advocates on behalf of migrants, refugees, members of ethnic minority groups and indigenous people. One of it's priorities is encouraging clients to learn English, read and use libraries to this end the Council involves itself in book fairs aimed at assisting migrants and refugees to integrate by providing them with books and electronic resources on Australian society and culture and encourage ‘mainstream’ Australians to understand minority groups by providing books and other resources on different cultures.
The ECCWA hopes to encourage cross-cultural interaction by holding events at which Western Australians from different cultures will have the opportunity to socialise while selecting books and enjoying light refreshments.

The Ethnic Communities Council WA (ECCWA) was established in 1975 as the International Communities Council.  It commenced as an association of a small number of ethnic organizations.  The main purpose for its formation was to establish a means of working on issues of mutual concern and to lobby government on the need for appropriate service delivery to people of diverse backgrounds. Over time the Ethnic Communities Council of WA has grown to be recognized as the peak organization representing the interests of various ethnic communities in this State.

It's vision
is to develop a fair and just society, one in which all people are encouraged to participate fully in the life of the community and are supported to reach their full potential, where diversity is valued and people live in harmony.

HRH Princess Shirley is pleased to announce the awarding of the Red Cross of Hutt Charity Shield to the ECCWA and along with HRH Prince Leonard trust that their work will continue on as it is something of much interest to the PHR also, given the large number of it's overseas citizens around the globe thus making the PHR a very culturally diverse country also.

Congratulations!
Ethnic Communities Council WA (ECCWA)
