Bushfire Fundraiser
It was a big day, and a huge effort on the part of a lot of people. The devastating bushfires in Victoria generated an enormous amount of community feeling. In the Hawkesbury, lots of community groups, including Hawkesbury Radio, joined in the effort to provide relief for the victims with a fundraiser, held in Macquarie Park on the banks of the Hawkesbury River.
Steve Wilkins does a live cross to air during the concert.

Yvonne Bartle wins the 2008 Ricky
At the AGM on 17 September, Yvonne Bartle won the Ricky Stephenson Memorial Award (The Ricky) for 2008.
The Ricky Award is presented for dedication and excellence in service to the station, and Yvonne was a popular choice. Yvonne is always working for the station in one way or another, tirelessly handling all the tricky jobs - the office, the programming, caring about the station's members. All that and running her own shows as well.
The Ricky Award is presented each year in honour of Ricky Stephenson, a long-serving treasurer of the station who died a few years ago. His wife endowed the station with the award in honour of her husband, to recognise the individual who has contributed excellence and dedication to service to the station.
Yvonne is presented with her award by Paul Mech, Hawkesbury Radio board member and part of the committee for selection of the Ricky Awards.

"I would strongly encourage residents of Greenway to tune in to their local community station where you will be kept up to date with what is going on locally as well as nationally. It is well worth a listen."
Well said, Louise Markus!
