Chris takes a new job

Gosford councillor and former mayor, Chris Holstein, is to leave his family business, Gnostic Mana in Woy Woy, take up a new job.

Cr Holstein has been appointed as general manager of Central Coast Community Chest.

"Chris brings with him a drive and dedication to the community fostered by his love of the Central Coast," said Community Chest chairman Mr Mal Glanville.

"Chris' tacit knowledge of the Central Coast and its needs will enhance the Community Chest's operations, and its ability to assist niche areas that are presently overlooked by Government agencies."

Cr Holstein said: "The Central Coast Community Chest is a non-profit fundraising organisation that assists Central Coast charities by raising funds through payroll deductions, corporate and private donations, special events and the Rainbow Community Bus for hire.

"Around $1 million has been distributed to over 50 local health and welfare organizations.

"I'm proud to be part of the Community Chest, and I look forward to working with the directors to advance the cause 'Give where you live'.

"The spirit within the community continues to grow, but so do the needs of many local charities.

"The Central Coast Community Chest's job is to assist them, and in doing so, remind all our citizens, businesses and corporate community that 'You make a living out of what you get, but you make a life out of what you give'," said Cr Holstein.
