Joy

Well Thursday afternoon, at precisely 2:43pm, the incumbent conceded defeat and my husband was declared the winner. The formal declaration of the ballot takes place on Tuesday, but let me assure you that my husband has already begun his work as the new State Member for Oatley.

Last night, I accompanied him to his first function and what a great function! Hurstville City Council's wonderful Arts and Culture department has been working in collaboration with the C3West organisation, on a project to reflect, in an artistic manner, the Community Strategic Plan. http://www.hurstville.nsw.gov.au/Begin-Again.html

I have added the link so that if you are interested you can read more about it. There were a number of local members of the community - ballroom dancers, singers, etc who appeared in the short video clips. I met the Director of MCA Sydney who was very happy to lend her support to the event. C3West is part of MCA Sydney.

It was great to attend the evening. This morning we have a fete and a couple of other engagements and hopefully, this afternoon I can go to the gym and relax and read.

Hope you have a great weekend.
