My last public engagement as as elected member!

Shirish Paranjape from Community Board member, Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood C.Board

Earlier this week, several volunteers working tirelessly on different aspects in our local community were acknowledged at the awards ceremony organised by the Fendalton-Waimairi-Harewood Community Board.

It was such a lovely event. It was so wonderful to see school students amongst the award recipients.

A pleasant surprise / bonus for me was meeting a teacher fromm Burnside High School who taught my daughter Neha Paranjape many moons ago!

This beautiful event brings an end to my public engagements as an elected member (Community Board member for Waimairi)

As an elected member for 3 terms, the sheer variety and number of community events I have been privileged to attend is mind-blowing. One thing is for sure - I will miss these events in Sydney!
