Snippets…

November 7, 2024 by Roxane Manley

Minister for Emergency Services Jihad Dib MP and Commissioner of the RFS Rob Rogers who presented the award to Marshall Munn was awarded the Young Volunteer of the Year, 12-15 years.

Parkes Shire Council: Congratulations to Marshall Munn on being awarded Young Volunteer of the Year at the RFS Youth Awards. This recognition highlights his ded­ication and outstanding contributions to our community through his work with the NSW RFS – Parkes Headquarters Brigade and SES. Earlier this year, he was honoured as Parkes Young Citizen of the Year, and it’s clear that Marshall’s commitment to service and leadership is making a real difference.

We’re proud to have such an inspiring young leader among us
