Mr Michael Foulkes is a strong advocate for my local community and beyond. He is renowned for his friendly and approachable demeanour within the community, always ready to extend a helping hand to those in need. He was also recently nominated for the Fairfield Citizen of the Year award presented by Fairfield council at the Australia Day celebration. Michael has been with the Cabra-Vale Diggers Club for about 20 years, and 16 of those years as the General Manager. He is guided by his strong passion for giving back and has been instrumental in the club's commitment to serving the community. One of Michael's noteworthy achievements is the club's sponsorship of the NSW Vietnamese Elderly Friendship Association, facilitating the launch of English and computer classes for local senior members. Through his initiative and leadership, we will see the Aboriginal flag and New Zealand flag fly alongside the Australian flag at the club's upcoming commemoration of Anzac Day this year. I recognise and thank Michael for all his wonderful work and contributions to my local community.
