Boothby residents are a talented group and a group that gives back to the community in so many ways. Boothby volunteering rates are higher than the state average and higher than the national average. The efforts and commitment of our residents makes Boothby the fantastic vibrant place to live that it is.

I would like to congratulate the following Boothby residents who were recognised in the King's Birthday honours. Dr Geoffrey Higgins AM was recognised for significant service to medicine through clinical virology testing technology and to microbiology. Mr Mark Turra AM was recognised for significant service to community health through pathology, particularly microbiology and infectious diseases. Mr Donald Hurley OAM was recognised for his service to model railways and rail history. Ms Rona Sakko PSM, OAM was recognised for service to science education. Mrs Nanette Sharp OAM was recognised for service to the community of southern Adelaide.

Meritorious awards were also awarded to Chief Superintendent Scott Allison and Senior Sergeant Heidi Baldwin, who were both awarded the Australian Police Medal. Thank you both for your service. Mr Anthony Cuzzocrea was awarded the Ambulance Service Medal, and Dr Sara Pulford from the state emergency service was awarded the Emergency Services Medal. Many thanks to all of you for what you bring to the Boothby community.
