🏐JUNIOR TEAM NETS NEW COURT SURFACE🏐 Congra

🏐JUNIOR TEAM NETS NEW COURT SURFACE🏐

Congratulations to the Junee Junior Netball Association on your NSW Government Sports Grant!

The club has been awarded $6000 to resurface their court, and this funding means registration and uniforms can be subsidised for players.
The surface is all ready to go, with local parents and supporters donating their time to do the prep work and save the club paying for this work.
The Association has players from every school in Junee and is so important for keeping kids active.

Well done to you all!

❄️WINTER IS COMING❄️ It’s been a chilly

❄️WINTER IS COMING❄️ It’s been a chilly start to the morning in the Cootamundra Electorate 🥶
Parts of the electorate have been shrouded in fog, while other parts have been lucky enough to get underneath some showers 🌧
How is it looking where you are?

👏🧡WEAR ORANGE WEDNESDAY🧡👏 Today is Wear Orange Wednesday, where we say thank you to our amazing SES volunteers.
I am incredibly proud to be part of NSW SES Junee Unit, and I am constantly impressed by the dedication of the volunteers who go above and beyond for our communities.
The SES is one of many organisations that steps up to protect our communities when they are most in need, so thank you to every volunteer, past and present, for your service.
These photos were taken at our water training session in February this year at the Junee Recreation and Aquatic Centre. 🤗 It was a great and if I can do it, I reckon anyone can sign up and have a go - we would welcome any new volunteers with open arms!
Looking forward to catching up with the guys again. Sx 🧡🧡 #thankyounswses

👏🩺👩‍⚕️ THANK YOU TO OUR NURSES👨‍⚕️🩺👏 Today is International Nurses Day!
There are so many amazing nurses who go above and beyond every day to care for people in their time of need.
You are the pillars of our health care system.
Today also marks Florence Nightingale’s 200th birthday, who was the driving force in pioneering modern nursing.
To all the amazing nurses and midwives across our communities, thank you for your dedication, your care and what you do every day. 💙💜

☺️LOCKDOWN TO BE RELAXED FROM FRIDAY☺️ Gre

☺️LOCKDOWN TO BE RELAXED FROM FRIDAY☺️ Great news from the Premier that from Friday two adults, plus their children, will be able to visit households for small social gatherings.
This is being done to reduce social isolation, and you can go and visit those over 70 or in at-risk categories (or they can come to you), just make sure you are feeling well and you continue to practice good hygiene.
There are no distance restrictions on this, so you can go to other towns and cities to visit family and friends.
But for now this does not mean you can go on a holiday.
This is a great sign that our social distancing measures are working and we are slowing the spread of this virus.
Please don't take risks at this time, if you feel unwell or have come in to contact with a known case of COVID-19 stay at home.
This has been a tough period for so many and I want to thank everyone for adhering to social distancing. We should all be proud of our low transmission numbers. (Just remember, no parties for now 😊🎉) #socialdistancing #lockdown #covid19

Look at these amazing Anzac wreaths!
Congratulations to everyone who has been having a go at making a wreath at home in preparation for Anzac Day.
Commemorating at home will be so different for all of us, but we can all take a moment to reflect on the sacrifice of all Australians who have served this nation in times of peace and war.
I’ll be standing at the end of my driveway at 6am, taking a moment to quietly reflect, and I look forward to attending one of the many services across the Cootamundra electorate in 2021.
You can watch the Dawn Service on ABC TV from 5:30am and the NSW service from 10am, listen to these broadcasts on ABC Radio or watch online on the RSL Facebook pages.

👏 Needed an excuse to be even more grateful for our amazing Fire and Rescue NSW staff and SES volunteers? 👏
Here in #Young many of the local Meals on Wheels volunteers haven’t been able to help out during the COVID-19 pandemic because they are aged over 70 and needed to self-isolate.
So some of the local Fire and Rescue and #SES volunteers have stepped in to help.
This challenging time is bringing out the best in people and it was fantastic to meet with some of you today and thank you for your hard work!

🩺🌡VIRTUAL HOSPITAL TECHNOLOGY🌡🩺 This a

🩺🌡VIRTUAL HOSPITAL TECHNOLOGY🌡🩺 This armband is an amazing piece of technology the @murrumbidgee_lhd have bought to create a virtual hospital.
This little device can monitor oxygen, blood pressure, temperature and other vital signs.
This constant monitoring is more regular than a check up in a hospital, and means the MLHD can ensure hundreds of possible COVID-19 and non coronavirus patients can be kept apart, people can be cared for in their homes (in a virtual hospital) and far more beds are available in our brick and mortar hospitals.
So incredible to have so much technology in one little device!

🎉YOUTH WEEK🎉

We have so many amazing young people across the Cootamundra electorate. Sadly while many of the events planned for this year’s #youthweek have been postponed or cancelled, I know we will be back bigger than ever next year.
For now I’ll celebrate with some #fbf snaps with some of the fantastic young people who have joined me at events and announcements over the past year. I can’t wait to be out and about with you all again soon.
