WILLIAM WHITE NOMINATED FOR A CALI AWARD.
The CALI Awards stands for Community, Action, Leadership and Inspiration.
The CALI Award is presented by the team at Five Point Five –
www.fivepointfive.org a group who travel the world-finding people who make a
difference to their communities. They have many ways of sourcing heroes and
somehow one of those ways brought them to our manager, Willie White.
The CALI Award is awarded to inspiring people who are recognised for their
leadership in creating positive change for people or the world around us.
CALI Award recipients are willing to do what it takes to make a difference
and Five Point Five think they should be celebrated for what they are –
modern day heroes.
Five Point Five showcase heroes from all over the world, to thank them for
the work that they do and to inspire others so that they too can make a
difference. They believe your story may inspire someone to contact you, or
to start their own project. Either way the world will be a better place for
it. Congrats to Willie on his nomination.
THANK YOU TO CURROW & CURRAN CHURCH COLLECTION.
Our service would like to extend a sincere thank you to the parishioners and
clergy at Currow & Curran Churches for supporting our Church collection over
the weekend. We really appreciate everyone’s support at this fundraiser
event.
