The ceremony will be held to coincide with National Volunteer Week, this year being celebrated from 9 to 15 May with a theme of Inspiring the Volunteer in You. The purpose of National Volunteer Week is to say thanks to the many tireless volunteers that we have within our community. The work performed by volunteers can sometimes be taken for granted or overlooked which is why this week of celebration and appreciation of their hard work is so important, Mr Powell said. Mr Powell structures the Glass House Volunteer Awards so rather than have one overall winner the opportunity is given to acknowledge the efforts of many volunteers throughout our community. Witta Tennis News Michelle, Stacey, Janet and Maree. All Thursday night and Friday matches were rained out. The Witta Wikings had a fantastic win as Cooroy couldn t field a team and had to forfeit.

4 Maleny Tennis News It was an even handed outcome in the Maleny versus Witta week in the Ladies Midweek competition. Maleny Magics played an Away game against the Witta Hitters. The Witta Club is now the proud owners of a third court being a second hard court. The matches for this contest were held on the two hard courts. Gayle O Conor reported that after the first four games the scores were level at 19 all, however by the end of the eighth game it was a win for Maleny 40 games to 31. Many thanks to Annie Stewart from Witta who helped to make this match possible by stepping in as a reserve at the eleventh hour.

Maleny District Sports & Recreation Club Inc The Range Croquet Club in Maleny went ahead with its charity try-out day on Saturday, despite appalling weather. The turn-out was very disappointing, but a couple of brave souls from the Bowls Club turned out to help, as did the Member for Glass House, Andrew Powell, and most of our club members, of course. Our good friends at Live Life Villages lent a marquee, and made a substantial donation. The raffle was won by Priscilla Vickers. While the names of Vince and Val Carbery, Kath Smith and Priscilla don t appear in the scores this week, they all put in a long day on Saturday trying to raise money for Maleny SES. Vince was back at the Showgrounds on Sunday, as an official at the Maleny and District Poultry Club s annual show. Our Golf Croquet Pennant games begin this week. Not many club games have been played recently: in singles, Nick Cram beat Neil Lovett in a short, half-court game In doubles, John McCarthy and Nick beat Roz Pagliarino and Ken Barker For information, ring Vince Carbery ( ) or Priscilla Vickers ( ).
