2012 marks the 12th year of the ‘Thanks’ awards recognising the contribution volunteers have on our sporting life. Tennis ACT would like to offer you the chance to nominate a member of you club who goes above and beyond the work of a volunteer, and nominate them for the ‘Thanks’ award.
The award recognises the contribution of volunteers to sporting communities in Canberra, and currently more than 250 volunteers have been acknowledged for their work. In 2011 David Gray a volunteer at Forrest Tennis Club was a deserving recipient.
Without volunteers, the tennis community would crumble, so it is vitally important to recognise the hard work they do without pay week in week out.
To nominate a candidate you think is deserving of the award; contact Kelly Smith at Tennis ACT on [email protected] by Friday 21 September 2012
