Ms JENNY AITCHISON (Maitland)—Congratulations to Maitland's newest recipient of a Queen's Birthday Honour, Ray Fairweather OAM. Ray's term as the longest serving Maitland City Council Councillor of 35 years, including one year as Mayor demonstrates his love for Maitland. The important role Ray has played over the years and continues to play today demonstrates his commitment to seeing the Maitland community progress, whilst continuing to pay homage to the Maitland of 1820. Ray's humility and commitment shown to getting things done for Maitland is admirable and the Maitland of today is fortunate to have you as one of its long-standing stalwarts. Having known Ray for nearly twenty years, I have on many occasions admired his dedication to community, determination and resilience. After all these years his community spirit remains strong and his selfless service to others and leadership is inspiring. The many ways in which he has displayed his commitment to building and serving our community over the years, make him truly deserving of this recognition.
