Just like that… it is March!
That means that it is not long to go now before we have our Centre Championships, Mentone Relays and Club Awards / AGM Carnival events.
Please ensure you are across all the information on these special days. We have listed the details below and kindly point out that these are events the kids genuinely love to be a part of, so please do diary date them now and make sure you register.
A brief note from the President
I have been warmed by the generous nature of our Community after my email asking for help: set up, pack up, BBQ – thank you so much. We couldn’t do it without you.
Very soon the Committee at the AGM in April will be dissolved, and a new one formed. Pssst…..this is not the time to stop reading….. and this is my serious voice as the Club relies upon the energy and enthusiasm of our volunteer parents to keep growing and developing the athletics program we can offer our kids.
We understand being busy, working, running around after the kids etc… but it’s an average of about 1 hour per week of help to the Club. Here is what a few of our Committee would like to share with you in terms of feedback:
“I get a lot out of volunteering here at the ground level and for me this is my personal donation to a community cause/charity. I see the real positive impact we have on the kids for myself.”
“Seeing the smiles of kids faces when they achieve their best or are having fun with friends, is such a joyous moment every time. I love being involved making a difference to them.”
“I have learnt so many life and business skills being on this Committee, far more than I do in my current day job. The team work is real (and fun) and we all collaborate so well to achieve our goals.”
“It’s all about the kids, giving them learning opportunities to develop their skills in a fun way. I coach the a local football team too and can see the transferable skills that little aths brings to the football team.”
Convinced yet? We warmly welcome you to join us, bring your new jokes, insights and help to grow the cause for our young athletes – please email Nicole ([email protected]) to register your interest or if you have any questions.
