Macedonian Australian Welfare Association

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley)

—I am honoured to recognise the Macedonian Australian Welfare Association for all their continued hard work for the past 35 years across the St George region. Last year, I recognised the organisation with a Community Group Award as part of the St George Community Awards. I also presented Roza Georgieva and Zorica Nikolova with individual awards for their commitment to assisting those in need. The St George Community Awards are an annual program that recognise hard working men, women and youth who go above and beyond every day to give back to their community. The Macedonian Welfare Association runs a number of services including physical assistance to elderly and vulnerable individuals and mental health services. So many members love these services and popular programs include meditation, art activities and social outings to connect members with the wider community. I would again like to congratulate the entire organisation on everything they have achieved in the past 35 years and I wish them many more years of success in the future.
