Meet our Dunedin Stars


THE stars were out last night, as about 150 people gathered to celebrate Dunedin’s unsung heroes in an awards ceremony hosted by The Star at the Dunedin Railway Station.
Wax Preston, Emma Rosevear, Netta Noone, Felicity Prescott, Sharon McKenzie and Cory Sutherland were named ‘‘Dunedin Stars’’ for 2008 in The Star’s fourth annual awards celebrating our city’s volunteers.
The awards evening at Scotia Restaurant in the Dunedin railway station was attended by nominees, their nominators, Allied Press management, Star staff and invited guests.
Star editor Helen Speirs, Dunedin Deputy Mayor Syd Brown and, via a pre-recorded video, new Minister for the Community and Voluntary Sector Tariana Turia addressed the audience at the event, held in the week of International Volunteer Day, December 5.
