Rotary Club of Maitland Sunrise Inc., City of Maitland Medal Recipients

Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland—Minister for Regional Transport and Roads)—Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Maitland Sunrise Inc. for receiving the City of Maitland Medal in recognition of their outstanding contributions to our community in this year's Maitland Australia Day Awards. This dedicated group of volunteers has long been committed to making a positive impact in Maitland, supporting a diverse range of local initiatives and organisations. The club has played a vital role in assisting individuals and families in need, working closely with community support services to provide essential aid. Their efforts extend to social inclusion programs, ensuring vulnerable members of the community feel supported and connected. They have also been active in supporting local sports, particularly through their involvement with the Maitland Netball Association, helping to enhance opportunities for young athletes. In addition, the Rotary Club of Maitland Sunrise's ongoing support of Maitland Hospital and compassionate assistance to people experiencing homelessness and supporting low-income students truly exemplify the meaning of service above self. Congratulations to the Rotary Club of Maitland Sunrise Inc. on this well-deserved recognition. Their tireless efforts have made Maitland a stronger, more inclusive, and more compassionate community.
