She\nis passionate, understanding and nothing is ever too much trouble. She is\ndescribed by her fellow volunteers as an absolute pleasure to work with. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>After being presented with the award by Tennis Victoria Club Development Office Danielle Cornwall, Cynthia said \u2018I want to thank Tennis Victoria for this award. It was such a surprise and an honour and it has pride of place in my home\u2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thank you, Cynthia, for your contribution to tennis in\nVictoria, and congratulations, you\u2019re a very deserving recipient of this\naward.&nbsp; <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We love recognising our Volunteers and Club Members who contribute significant service to Tennis through our Tennis Service Awards!
