“Seniors deserve recognition for the significant contribution they make across many different areas of community life.”
The recipients in Penrith are:
· Mr Ron Langley for his dedication to men’s health and wellbeing,

“I commend today’s recipients for demonstrating the diversity of talent, generosity of spirit and limitless energy of seniors in our community,” Stuart Ayres said.
The 2016 NSW Seniors Local Achievement Awards celebrate seniors’ achievements in a range of categories, including business, environment, science, agriculture, health and wellbeing, learning and community service.
The awards coincide with NSW Seniors Festival (running from 1 – 10 April 2016), which celebrates and acknowledges the important role that seniors play in our community.
