A deep love for her Cecil Plains community is the spark that drives Glennis Philbey to volunteer across numerous community organisations.
Volunteering has become a way of life for Mrs Philbey, who today (Friday, November 15, 2024) was thanked for her 25 years' active volunteering.
Mrs Philbey joined 32 fellow Council-managed volunteers who were honoured by Toowoomba Regional Council for reaching service milestones at a recognition of service function at The Annex in Toowoomba.
"I love Cecil Plains, and it is my love for the people that makes me celebrate what a vibrant place it is," Mrs Philbey said.
Mrs Philbey serves on the Cecil Plains Australia Day and Anzac Day committees, in addition to other roles supporting the Cecil Plains History Group and Bush Nursing.
Her love for the community extends to hosting a Carols by Candlelight function at her home, which is scheduled for Sunday, November 24.
