Community Service

Three Community Service Awards for 2003  Community Graffiti Removal Group		Jeff Neale, the Director of Community Service, awarded a Rotary Community Service Award to the Community Graffiti Removal Group. This group of 33 volunteers operates throughout the Campbelltown and the Norwood, Payneham & St Peters Council areas and has the strong support of both Councils. So far, it has removed 132,000 tags at 40,000 sites. The Campbelltown Council area is now virtually graffiti free with only ongoing maintenance required and the Norwood, Payneham and St. Peters Council area is well on the way to being graffiti free.
