Subscriber only A lifetime of skills should not go to waste in retirement, in fact, this year s Bowen Senior Citizen of the Year Chris Coventry believes that s a perfect time to use them. Mrs Coventry has been recognised for her immense contribution to the community since she retired to Bowen in 2006. But she s quick to say she never works alone. It s very special but it s really important to recognise it s never just yourself, it s always a group of people who work together, Mrs Coventry said. I feel like I ve won it for all of us. Mrs Coventry has been part of the Murroona Gardens board for eight years, has spent four years on the Proserpine Nursing Home board and is an active volunteer with the Zonta Club of Bowen and Bowen Community Council.
