Help to spread the season’s cheer, says mayor

MAYOR Sam Aziz has sent his season greetings to the Casey community.
In a special Christmas message to residents, Cr Aziz said it was important not to forget the “true essence” of Christmas.
“Unfortunately for some, Christmas isn’t always the happiest of time. Many community members are doing it tough, some are struggling to provide for their families, are without loved ones or battling health problems,” Cr Aziz said.
“I urge everyone to reach out in love and friendship, whether it be by spreading the Christmas cheer with someone that is lonely, donating items to Christmas appeals or volunteering some time to a local charity supporting those in need.”
He said Casey was lucky to have so many wonderful community groups, organisations, businesses and individuals who “continually contribute to creating our caring, empathetic and harmonious community”.
“Council thanks you for the work you do all year around, which is particularly paramount during Christmas,” Cr Aziz said.
