Anthony Eden receives local Youth Voluteer Award
2CCR FM’s Anthony Eden was announced last Wednesday as Sydney Greater West & Blue Mountains Youth Volunteer of the Year.
Anthony, from Baulkham Hills is a Year 9 student at Model Farms High School and is 2CCR FMs Technical Manager.
2CCR FM is the community station based at Baulkham Hills and broadcasting on 90.5 to the LGAs of Parramatta, Holroyd and Baulkham Hills. Anthony said he was delighted to receive the award. “I was surprised to be nominated as I enjoy what I do.”
Anthony was nominated by Chris Cunliffe-Jones, the Chairman of 2CCRFM who said, “Anthony is a deserving winner of this award. He is a young man with a prodigious technical ability. Over the past two years he has helped the station remain on air by solving a range technical problems ranging from severe to the more mundane.
“With assistance, he has completely refurbished and upgraded the station's production studio, computerised the recording and broadcasting of programs and enhanced the quality of the station's signal.
“With any radio station, there are minor hiccups that arise on a regular basis. Anthony is quick to respond and ensure 2CCR FM remains on air. He has become a rock and his efforts have taken the station to a new level of sophistication and quality in broadcasting.”
As the Sydney Greater West & Blue Mountains Youth Volunteer of the Year, Anthony will represent the region at the announcement of the 2008 NSW Youth Volunteer of the Year on December 5 (International Volunteer Day) at Parliament House.
