Adla Coure

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (18:30:43):

I give a big shout-out to my wife and much better half, Adla Coure, who is celebrating her birthday today. Adla is a school teacher and head coordinator of English who is active in our local area through the P&C Association, Rotary, the football clubs and is the newly elected president of the Peakhurst-Lugarno Branch of the Liberal Party. I acknowledge the wonderful work that Adla does with school-age kids studying English at the senior levels of 11 and 12. More recently, in response to the COVID‑19 pandemic, Adla created the Georges River Eats Facebook page, encouraging local residents to buy takeaway from local businesses and keeping many of them afloat. Within days, hundreds of locals started sharing photos of their breakfasts, lunches, dinners and snacks, encouraging others to order at the same time. Now Georges River Eats has over 3,000 members. Adla is still working to maintain the page. This community spirit in our local area is as strong as anywhere in the State, which we already knew. I thank Adla and wish her a happy birthday.
