PMM member awarded AO

 The folk at Paynesville Maritime Museum are celebrating the news that PMM President and Treasurer Christine Svenson and her husband Kevin have been awarded the Order of Australia in this year's Queen's Birthday honours.

Many locals will be aware of the efforts put in by Chris and Kevin to establish the Payensville Men's Shed, now a booming enterprise, and more recently working with fellow spirits to rejuvenate the moribund Paynesville RSL.

Within PMM, Chris has been a respected voice keeping a firm hand on finances and developing into a dedicated researcher.

Congratulations to Chris and Kevin - well done!
