Meta Lenarčič has been the driving force behind the Slovenian radio program on 3ZZZ 92.3FM, Melbourne for the past 22 years. For her outstanding voluntary contribution Meta has received the Victoria's Award for Excellence in Multicultural Affairs for Journalism, and an Award from the Republic of Slovenia's Office for Slovenians Abroad.

In addition to Meta's radio work, and since 1978, she has been actively involved with Slovenian Association Planica in Melbourne in a number of functions such as President, Secretary, ten years folklore dancing teacher, and writer and publisher of the Association's Planice bulletin.

To say the least, Meta is a monumental achiever and the Slovenian community needs to be very proud of her.
