On Monday, we had the honour of awarding Janet Atkins, from Chelsea Lawn Tennis Club, for her outstanding service and dedication to the club.<\/p>\n
Janet has been an active and committed member since joining in October 2005,\u00a0always ready to lend a hand and drive initiatives to assist the club. From\u00a0organising and leading the annual sausage sizzle at the local Woolworths Store in Chelsea to coordinating the club\u2019s garage sales, Janet has, in her time, raised vital funds for equipment maintenance and renewal at the club.<\/p>\n
Janet’s refined skills in organisation\u00a0shine through her leadership of the club\u2019s annual Christmas luncheon. Whilst she not only plans the entire event, she also arranges donations from other members for Christmas hampers and coordinates the hamper raffles. This beloved tradition showcases her ability to bring all 70 of the club’s members together for a festive celebration.<\/p>\n
Additionally, Janet helps coordinate the club’s\u00a0Melbourne Cup Day celebrations, which include a luncheon, social tennis, and a cup sweep. She also organises\u00a0the Easter raffle to raise funds for the Flying Doctor Service and spearheads the club\u2019s involvement in the Seniors Festival by hosting a social tennis day each October.<\/p>\n
On top of all her work in the social side of the tennis club, she also remains an active player and a dynamic presence at the club. She encourages other members to get involved through her warm and welcoming nature, making her a key part of the\u00a0Chelsea Lawn Tennis Club community.<\/p>\n
This Tennis Service Award recognises and celebrates Janet\u2019s remarkable commitment and contribution to the sport of Tennis. Congratulations, Janet, and thank you for everything you do!<\/p>\n
