Barry ‘Butch’ Witmitz - Victorian Senior Award

Victorian Parliament - 18 October 2017 - Ms KEALY — I would also like to congratulate Butch Witmitz. Butch received the Healthy and Acting Living Award at the 2017 Victorian Senior of the Year Awards. This well‑deserved award is further testament to Butch’s outstanding contribution to make his local community a better place and builds on the award he received in 2016 as the West Wimmera Shire Council Senior Citizen of the Year. I have met Butch and been involved with Butch many times, particularly around the Kaniva Men’s Shed. He does an outstanding job. Thank you so much for your contribution to the community, Butch.
