VIC celebrates Volunteer Week

On Tuesday the 25th of May 2010, Penrith Valley Visitor Information Centre celebrated Volunteers Week with a function held at the Visitor Information Centre.
The Mayor of Penrith, Councillor Kevin Crameri (OAM) was on hand to present all Penrith Valley volunteers with a certificate and pin for completing their Aussie Host training and to give them a big thanks for all the work they do at the Visitor Information Centre and at other Penrith City Council events.
“Obviously I don’t need to tell you there’s plenty on offer for anyone visiting, living, working in Penrith Valley,” said Cr Crameri.”Thanks to the efforts of our Ambassadors and City Marketing team, more and more people are finding out what a great place Penrith is”.
“I’ll be promoting our tourism asset during my upcoming visits to our international partners in Japan, Korea and China later this year”.
The Visitor Information Centre has 22 Ambassadors, some of which have been serving in this role for over a decade.
“We are certainly blessed to have such a wonderful dedicated group of volunteers,” said City Marketing Supervisor Paul Page. “I don’t know what we’d do without them.”
