Some highlights from this month…
I spoke with Marguerite McKinnon on her Friday Morning radio show with 2AAA. What a wonderful Community radio station this is. Marguerite and Alan Lean from 2AAA delivered media training to all Quest Entrants last year, and I am so thankful for their knowledge and guidance; it has certainly helped with my nerves when facing the microphone.
In May we congratulated a local family business on 40 years of service to our community. Dossers Quality Bakery, a longtime supporter of the Quest.
National Volunteer Week was held in May, so much is made possible for so many by the tireless hours given to our community by our valuable volunteers. It is always such a good thing to take the time to thank those who give of themselves for others.
Britt, our Community Princess 2020 and I began our Feel-Good Friday posts on the Miss Wagga Wagga Quest Facebook page in May. Just a simple thing we can do to promote positivity at this most unusual time, and share some of the things we have been doing to help ourselves to feel good. Speaking of Facebook, we were thrilled to see the Miss Wagga Wagga Quest Facebook page had hit 1700 likes, this month.
Making the most of May...
All My Love,

So much has happened, I have gained and lost so much in this time.
It is so exciting for me that Community Princess Grant applications open this month. I am so looking forward to receiving and reading applications from the community for grants toward small projects from the Community Princess Fund 2020.
It was my honour to post on the Miss Wagga Wagga Quest Facebook page on National Sorry Day, standing together toward reconciliation.
I took a short work trip to Eden on the NSW coast. It was so good to be out and about again, different scenery and that fresh sea air, really cleared my head after such a long time staying home.
With COVID 19 restrictions easing up slightly toward the end of this month. I had the opportunity to visit with my beautiful mum. It was so good to see her after all that has happened this month.
I hope you are doing what you can for yourself and those around you.
Remember to look after yourself Wagga Wagga, hope to see you all, around our beautiful town soon.
