International Volunteer Day 2013

To celebrate International Volunteer Day on Thursday December 5 2013, Lithgow City Council will be holding a special “Thank You” afternoon tea for Lithgow’s many dedicated volunteers at Eskbank House and Museum.

International Volunteer Day marks the date when the wider community can recognise and appreciate the amazing and vital contributions volunteers make.

Volunteers contribute their time, knowledge, efforts and expertise to help make a difference to people and to the community as a whole. Volunteering embodies the sense of giving without asking for anything in return.
