CENTENARY MEDAL FOR BOB

Congratulations to Bob Proudfoot on being awarded a Centenary Medal for his service to the community through local government and sport. Bob’s commitment to the community has been rewarded by the presentation of the Centenary Medal, which was first announced by the Prime Minister, Mr John Howard, in 2001 in honour of the Centenary of Federation. While controversy has dogged the selection process (not the least of which was the length of time it has taken to award the medals!), it is nevertheless a unique award - one in a hundred years in fact - and one which is worth receiving. Federal Member for Cunningham, Michael Organ, held a ceremony for over fifty Cunningham residents who received the Centenary Medal. Well done Bob!
