St George Local Woman of the Year Award

Mr MARK COURE (Oatley) (13:21:28):

Recently I had the honour of presenting the Local Woman of the Year Award to Ms Nahed Soliman. Accompanied by the Minister for Women, the Hon Tanya Davies, MP, I was pleased to make this important presentation. Nahed is an outstanding local woman whose work as the service manager of St George Meals on Wheels assists frail, aged or disabled people to remain in their own homes. St George Meals on Wheels has operated locally for the past 48 years in the St George and Rockdale areas and has more than 150 volunteers on the roster. Nahed is a dedicated coordinator who always has a smile on her face. There are many wonderful and hardworking people in the St George area and Nahed is a perfect example. I congratulate Nahed on her award and thank her for her wonderful service to our local community. Nahed and her team ensure that the basics, such as food and company, are provided to some of our most vulnerable and needy residents. This is why she has been awarded our Local Woman of the Year Award for 2017.
