Meeniyan Covid Compliant Australia Day 2021
The Meeniyan Progress Association with the fine work by Tanya Wilson organised our first Covid complaint Australia day. It was shorter, smaller but just as passionate. Covid compliance allowed few frills. Kathryn Smith chaired the meeting and acknowledged the indigenous custodians of our land celebrating our shared histories of the oldest continuously occupied continent for 80,000 years.
She acknowledged the much beloved local Marty Thomas as our nominee for Citizen of the year. Marty has trained and mentored over 100 young people in the last ten years at his restaurant. He cofounded South Gippsland LGBTI Social Group of 150 people that pre COVID-19 had many people attending social events.
Amazing songs/singing by Tarnya Wilson and evocative poems by Danielle Poletti and Charlize Hawkins joint school captains of Meeniyan Primary School
The meeting was ably chaired by Kathryn Smith President of Progress with the Affirmation read by Evelyn Patterson. Our numbers were limited to 100 people and in poor conditions around 80 people attended.
