Volunteers are the unsung heroes of the community, Mike Butterick says.
The MP for Wairarapa was speaking at an evening celebrating a Gold Star achievement for James Kendrick, senior firefighter for Dannevirke Volunteer Fire Brigade.
He says it’s a privilege to be able to celebrate all those that contribute.
“To those who volunteer you help us in times of need and the most challenging of conditions at times.”
