Letter to the Editor: Tribute to councillor Lisa Intemann

DEAR News Of The Area,

I WISH to pay a public tribute to this wonderful woman who served seven terms on our council and was a true giver to our community in many ways.

During her council service she had to endure some tough times, but she remained bravely steadfast in her commitment.

When the council was sacked in 2008 due to the mismanagement of, and the cost blowout of the Glasshouse Theatre, she was the only member of the Council to stand again at the next election.

Being involved in a number of community groups myself, I can genuinely say that Lisa was a ‘go to’ person for many of us to raise their issues.

She was trusted, approachable and helpful, in fact the ideal councillor, always putting the community first.

My words can never say enough about her.

I wanted to nominate her for an Order of Australia Medal for her outstanding dedication to public service, but sadly she has passed before organising that was possible.

Having seen her at a council meeting just four weeks ago, her passing came as an enormous shock.

We will miss you Lisa, but you will not be forgotten, you will live in the memories of many of us.

Regards,
Sue BAKER,
Dunbogan.
