Our own publicity officer, Citizen of the Year 2024!

The citation states:

“Beryl Tarttelin was awarded Citizen of the Year for Bungendore for her outstanding dedication to the Bungendore community. Upon moving to Bungendore 18 years ago Beryl immediately joined the Rotary Club of Bungendore where she has volunteered at many club events, hosted an exchange student and served as club president for some time. During her early years in Bungendore Beryl would tutor local children — many of whom had learning or language difficulties — always free of charge. Since retiring from teaching, Beryl has been dedicated to advocating for seniors in our region. She is an active member of the local Bridge Club, helped start a Seniors Chair Yoga group in Bungendore, and is currently working to establish a new over 55s Seniors Group in Bungendore.”
