Glenn Awty has been an instrumental leader of the Drouin
Tennis Club and was recognised for his outstanding service on Saturday 20 March
when he was awarded a Highly Commended Service Award.

Glenn has worked tirelessly for both the club and the local
associations (Baw Baw Tennis Association and Riverside Tennis Association) to
ensure safe playing opportunities for the community. He’s often the first one
at the club on a Saturday morning and the last to leave.

Glenn served as President of the Drouin TC from 2016 to 2020
and no job is too big or too small. He has been working on the club house
rebuild for the last 7 years, a project the club hopes to soon see come to
life.

Volunteering and supporting their local community are all
part of the day to day for Glenn and his family. They are all involved in the
tennis club and other sports in the community. His wife Jaime was recognised by
the club as Best Club Person.

When accepting his award Glenn acknowledged that ‘this is
not why we do it, we do it for our kids, we do it so there is a future for our
club’. 

Congratulations on receiving your Highly Commended Service
Award Glenn.
