On Thursday 13 September, Terry Jones and David Motta attended the Stirling Stars employee of the year awards at the City of Stirling Civic Centre to present the award. The Rotary Club of Osborne Park was instrumental in setting up this program almost 30 years ago and has remained involved since. The award was initially presented at one of the Club's regular meetings, but the City has done a marvellous job of transforming it from its relatively humble beginnings into a prestigious affair. Awards are now presented for length of service, with one employee having worked for the City for 50 years, and to a number of team leaders. The Stirling Star of 2018 was awarded to David Parker, a Team Leader in the Waste Services department.
