Very few people would have had as much effect on Maleny community organisations as have Shirley and Lloyd Larney. In 2009 Lloyd himself was awarded an OAM for his service to the Maleny community.
Both people are such community minded people that they would pitch in for any organisation that needed assistance. Both are muchly deserving of their awards. Congratulations Shirley and Lloyd!
