UP UP CRONULLASharkS unite the community!Sharks fever gripped the Shire when the Sharks made the Grand Final and then went on to win their historic first ever NRL Premiership. It was a shame the St George illawarra Dragons did not enjoy the best of success in 2016 however I am sure they will return stronger in 2017.

“The happiness and joy felt in the community was embraced by all, even the staunchest Sharks critics jumped on the band wagon!”

It was great to see local business get on board and take part in the “Sharkify your Business” competition. No doubt the best dressed house went to the Water’s family in Caringbah.

All the businesses who took part decorating their shopfronts were worthy of the Grand Final tickets up for grabs, and it was difficult to choose a winner. In the end, Groundbake Cronulla enjoyed the spoils and followed the rest of the 50,000 Shire residents who embarked on Homebush to watch the boys make history.

I look forward as I am sure you do to the 2017 season with anticipation and wish every success for both our Sharks and St George Illawarra Dragons.

once again the second part of the year has proved to be extremely busy in both my cook electorate and in canberra.Christmas and summer is such a joyous time to spend with family and friends and to celebrate this great area we live in. A time to reflect on the year past and look forward to the year ahead.

I am extremely proud to have been re-elected as the Federal Member for Cook earlier this year. I am excited about serving my new constituents across the Georges River and look forward to meeting more of you next year.

Of course 2016 has been a stand out for me with the Sharks winning their first ever NRL Premiership. To see the community rally together such support and share such excitement was great to experience.

Over the festive season I encourage you to enjoy good health, family and friends. Jenny, myself and our girls sincerely wish you and your family a very happy and safe Christmas and New Year. We look forward to seeing you out and about in 2017.

God bless you and your family,

2016, ANOTHER CLASSIC YEAR!

COOK COMMUNITY AWARDS 2016

now in it’s ninth year, the imB Bank cook community classic continues to grow and reach more of the cook community. Fundraising efforts from 56 community organisations this year brings the events’ total fundraising achievements since its inception in 2008 to $839,000.

As event Patron, I thank our four Bate Bay Surf Clubs Cronulla, North Cronulla, Elouera and Wanda, the back bone of this event. Thanks also to Sutherland Shire Council for its continued support in lending the park, beach and amenities and helping to promote the event to the entire community.

I know we claim it every year but this year was truly the biggest and best yet. Hosted again by major sponsor IMB Bank, the community enjoyed the Kirrawee High Senior High School band, performances from Ettinghausen’s dance troops, Ronald McDonald Magic Show and free heart checks from the Victor Chang team.

This event is only possible thanks to the generous support of our sponsors. Returning again in 2016 were Qantas, IMB Bank, Woolooware Bay (Capital Bluestone), AHA, Sylvania BMW, Sharks, PAYCE, Kareena Private Hospital, Westfield Miranda, Sydney Airport (SACL) and ANSTO.

i am pleased to announce that this year our community organisations sold over 47,000 raffle tickets, the main fundraising arm of the event. a total of over $104,000 was raised from the raffle and carnival day.The raffle takes all the hard work out of fundraising for our great community organisations and I am grateful to all who took the opportunity in their stride selling raffle tickets at Caringbah Shopping Centre, Cronulla and Gymea Spring Fairs and the promotional site at Westfield Miranda.

I look forward to seeing you all in 2017 when we celebrate our 10th anniversary with the inclusion of the Sylvania BMW Gala Ball being held in October at Doltone House Sylvania Waters.
