It was held at the Berri Resort Hotel, hosted by John Rix of the Berri Rotary Club.
The
deserving recipient of the 2013 Citizen of the Year Award is Pat West
of Loxton, for her service to several clubs and committees and she says
she looks forward to continuing her work with the Loxton Christmas
Festival Committee.
Pat has also been recognised by the State Government, having won the Government Services Achiever Award.
As well as the Citizen of the Year, the Young person of the Year was awarded to Meg Gillespie for her community contributions.
The 2013 Relay for Life was named the Event of the Year, after raising a huge $57,567.
Guest
Speaker Ross Curtis of The Royal Flying Doctor Service was a highlight
of the night, putting the organisations contributions to the Riverland
and to the Country, into perspective for all who attended.
Congratulations to all Award Winners and Finalists.
