CARRIED QUESTIONS OF WHICH DUE NOTICE HAS BEEN GIVEN, WITHOUT DISCUSSION Nil QUESTIONS OF WHICH NOTICE HAS NOT BEEN GIVEN, WITHOUT DISCUSSION Nil ANNOUNCEMENTS BY THE MAYOR, WITHOUT DISCUSSION GREEK AMBASSADOR'S VISIT At Council's meeting on 25 May 1994 I mentioned a visit by his Excellency, Mr George Constantis, Ambassador of Greece to Australia. The Ambassador was presented with a gift from the Council on the occasion of his visit and has now reciprocated with a gift to our Council depicting Alexander the Great and the Star of Vergina. As Councillor Fleur Freame was representing me at that function, I think it appropriate that Councillor Freame formally receive the gift on Council's behalf at this time. CLEAN UP AUSTRALIA DAY Council has received a certificate of recognition for its contribution to Clean Up Australia Day 1994. Volunteers from Wanneroo joined the efforts of some 500,000 volunteers across Australia in cleaning up bushland and road sides. RED CROSS DOOR KNOCK APPEAL Report No Page No 3 Council is also in receipt of a certificate of appreciation from the Australian Red Cross in recognition for support given for the annual Red Cross Door Knock Appeal. It is uncertain at this time as to how much was raised within the City of Wanneroo for this worthy cause however I hope to advise Council of the amount at a future date. PIONEER LUNCHEON 1994 On Friday, 10 June I had the pleasure of attending the Pioneer Luncheon this year held at the Wanneroo Senior Citizens Centre. This is a annual function at which Council recognises the contribution of our community's pioneers and this year a 50 year residency plaque was presented to Mr Guiseppe "Joe Sinagra". At that same function, I unveiled a plaque which was mounted on limestone and depicts the original survey diagrams of the Wanneroo Roads District and the official gazettal of the Municipal district on 31 October 1902. ANNUAL SPECIAL SERVICE - GIRRAWHEEN FAMILY WORSHIP CENTRE It was with much pleasure that my husband and I attended the Annual Special Service at the Girrawheen Family Worship Centre on the morning of June 12. The service is conducted by the Assembly of God in Girrawheen to acknowledge contributions made to our Local, State and Federal Governments. It was a most memorable service and I commend the organisers on this kind gesture. JOONDALUP FAMILY CENTRE On Saturday 18 June 1994 I attended the official opening of the Joondalup Family Centre in Jolstra Crescent, Joondalup; a facility which I am sure will serve the residents of Joondalup for many years to come. SES COUNTER DISASTER EXERCISE/SORRENTO TENNIS CLUB ANNUAL DINNER I would also record my appreciation for the assistance given by Councillors Freame and Lynn in deputising for me at the SES Counter Disaster Exercise on 11 June and the Sorrento Tennis Club Annual Dinner on 18 June 1994. On neither occasion was I able to attend and Councillors Freame and Lynn stepped in at the last moment on my behalf.
