Congratulations to Ruth Porter, who was awarded SAA Junior Volunteer of the Year at the SAA AGM in Perth on November 29. This is a new award, instigated by the SAA in conjunction with a senior award, and a coaches award. In announcing Ruth as the recipient, Victoria Barby (SAA Director of Communications) read from the nominations submitted by Brenda and the committee, which praised Ruth for her readiness to help in many different capacities, whether selling raffle tickets or sweeping the floor. If it was possible for us to have nominated Judith and Ted (Ruths parents) for an award we would have done so, as their help at so many club events is invaluable. |
