This issue celebrates the incredible individuals in our community who dedicate their time and energy to making a difference. Recently, Manningham Council held the Civic Awards Night, recognising this year’s inspiring recipients. Our cover story features the outstanding Citizen of the Year, Brian Tyedin — don’t miss his story! Check out the other winners too on page 4.
In this issue, our featured Local Resident is basketball legend, Michele Timms. Her journey from a young player at Bulleen-Templestowe Basketball Club to being honoured in the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame is truly inspiring. Her story is on page 5.
Manningham is buzzing with regular community events — made possible thanks to dedicated volunteers — and in this issue, our interns share their experiences from the All Abilities Disco (page 5) and Safe Plate Day (page 7).
