Two Pearl Beach champions recognised

Pearl Beach locals Lynne Lillico and Beverley Lapacek have received 2024 Gosford Community Champion Awards.

The awards go to people who go above and beyond to make a positive contribution to the Central Coast community through their work, volunteering efforts and involvement in community activities.

The two women have received their awards in recognition of their dedication to the Pearl Beach community.

Lillico has been recognised for her continuing role within the Pearl Beach Progress Association as publicity officer and a previous events co-ordinator.

Association President Gary Phillips said she worked tirelessly in her efforts to organise, promote and often host the many events that the Progress Association ran in Pearl Beach for the local community and beyond.

“Beverley has received her award for all the work she has done and continues to do for the community by organising events and activities including Community Christmas Lunch, Christmas in July, Biggest Morning Tea in support of the Cancer Council, and the Pearl Beach Plodders group, where she also organises a week away each year, just to name but a few,” Phillips said.

“There are very few events or activities at Pearl Beach that don’t involve Lynne or Beverley in one way or another and it’s a wonder they have time for anything else.

“Congratulations to them both for all they do for the community here at Pearl Beach and the Central Coast as a whole.”
