For more than 45 years, Margaret Weir has been at the heart of the\u00a0Lesmurdie\u00a0Tennis Club, making an extraordinary contribution both on and off the court. In recognition of her decades of dedication, Margaret has been named Tennis West’s Club Corner Volunteer of the Month.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Known affectionately as “Marg”, she has served the club in\u00a0almost every\u00a0capacity imaginable, including junior coordinator, Club Captain, Social Coordinator and Pennant Captain. A Life Member since 2001, Marg continues to be a familiar and caring presence around the club, always\u00a0looking out\u00a0for the wellbeing of members by celebrating birthdays and supporting those who are unwell with thoughtful messages,\u00a0flowers\u00a0and visits.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

A breast cancer\u00a0survivor herself, Marg has been the driving force behind the club’s annual Smash Cancer Tournament, formerly known as the Kaye Turner Memorial Cancer Tournament. The event has become a highlight on the club calendar, combining a fantastic day of tennis with great food, a community\u00a0atmosphere\u00a0and a hugely successful raffle. Thanks to Marg’s passion and leadership, the tournament has raised more than\u00a0<\/span>$170,000<\/span><\/b>\u00a0for Cancer Council WA.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Her commitment to giving back extends well beyond tennis. Every week, Marg volunteers with the Rise\u00a0Organisation\u00a0in\u00a0Mundaring, supporting older people and those living with dementia.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Marg’s compassion,\u00a0generosity\u00a0and tireless service have made a lasting impact on both her tennis club and the wider community. Tennis West proudly congratulates Margaret Weir on being named Club Corner Volunteer of the Month and thanks her for her remarkable contribution to tennis and community service in Western Australia.<\/span><\/p>\n

Every month we\u00a0are asking\u00a0you to nominate a\u00a0volunteer,\u00a0event\u00a0or something special that is making a difference at your local club!
