IN RECENT years, Betty Allman has dedicated herself to the Hastings Cancer Trust, raising about $1 million for the local organisation.
Betty was just one of a number of local residents honoured with community awards by the Minister for Family and Community Services and Minister for Women, Pru Goward last week.
Other recipients included Gayle George, who for over 32 years has been a foster mum to more than 200 children, Wendy Hudson who has been the driving force behind the Kendall Tennis Club and Neville Bell who has been recognised for his volunteer work as the bus driver for Port Macquarie Out of School Hours (OOSH).
Minister Goward also took the opportunity to present the 2013 Local Woman of the Year Award to Maureen Cook and Seniors Week Community Service Awards to Ron Walesby and Max Waters.
