Kingaroy volunteer Beryl Virgo with Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

September 6, 2012<\/strong><\/p>\n

Member for Nanango Deb Frecklington<\/strong> is urging South Burnett residents to celebrate Disability Action Week (September 9-15) to highlight the contribution people with a disability make to the community.<\/p>\n

She said the theme this year was “Empower, Enable, Everybody”, which highlights the importance of everyone working together to make Queensland communities as inclusive as possible.<\/p>\n

“All Queenslanders have the right to be genuinely included in our community and to live the life they choose,” Ms Frecklington said.<\/p>\n

Disability Services Minister Tracy Davis, who visited the South Burnett in late August said the week presents the opportunity to create a better understanding and acceptance of people of all abilities.<\/p>\n

Mrs Frecklington singled out one of her loyal volunteers, Beryl Virgo, for special mention.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Beryl is a strong advocate for people with a disability.<\/p>\n

“Beryl is well-known around Kingaroy and she volunteers her time in my office to help with administrative tasks. She\u2019s always keen to keep me up-to-date with issues affecting people in my community who live with a disabilty, and I\u2019d like to thank Beryl for all her hard work and for being so passionate about helping others,” Mrs Frecklington said.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
