Free guided art tour for Shire’s dedicated volunteers

To show Strathbogie Shire Council’s appreciation to local volunteers, and to celebrate Volunteers Week, volunteers are invited on a guided tour of the Shepparton Art Museum (SAM).

The tour will take place during Volunteers Week, on Wednesday May 17, 2023 and transport has been arranged to collect registered volunteers from both Nagambie and Euroa at 9:30am.

On arrival, two groups of 35 people will then embark on a guided tour of SAM, the visit will also allow guests to have time to explore the various exhibitions at their own leisure prior to departure at 1:30pm.

Strathbogie Shire Council Mayor Cr Laura Binks said volunteering was a crucial part of community spirit and areas within our Shire could only flourish with the hard work of volunteers.

“There is a volunteering opportunity for everyone; volunteering comes in all shapes and sizes,” she said.“There are so many great benefits from taking a few moments out of your week, month or year to put towards making a real impact on the people and world around you.

“Volunteering is all about making a difference in your community; it also benefits you personally as it offers opportunities to learn, grow, share, enjoy and connect. Just a few hours of volunteer work can make a difference to your happiness and mood.”

At Council, there are several volunteering opportunities. There are opportunities to volunteer for a wide range of roles at the Euroa Community Cinema, and the Nagambie Lakes & Euroa Visitor Information Centres.

The theme for this year’s Volunteer’s Week (May 15-21) is ‘The Change Makers’. The week-long event recognises the vital support that the millions of volunteers in our country provide to their communities and encourages people to consider volunteering.
