Albany and Regional Volunteer Services sundowner welcomes new staff and celebrates volunteers

Members of community and volunteer support groups attended the Albany and Regional Volunteer Services sundowner on Thursday to welcome new manager Sarah Udecz to the team.

Over a delicious spread, ARVS chairperson Sue Dawes welcomed Ms Udecz, who joined the team in January.

ACCI chief executive Kristen Pyrz-Brown also gave a speech, championing the role volunteers play in Albany’s community and around the world.

The sundowner saw the official launch of ARVS’s re-brand with a new logo, fresh colours and a move into a bigger office space.

The organisation hopes to expand into the Great Southern, extending the help they can provide vulnerable communities.
