In a gesture of appreciation, the Kiama Tennis Club (KTC) expressed their gratitude to one of their own, Jackie Parker, for her nine years of devoted service to the Club's committee.

Jackie Parker, a well-known and respected figure within the Kiama Tennis Club, received the surprise recognition during a friendly tennis match on the Club's courts. Chris Leitl, a representative from the Kiama Tennis Club, took to the court to present Jackie with a thank-you gift on behalf of the Club.

Jackie, a passionate tennis club enthusiast and a dedicated member of the KTC committee, was visibly surprised. This presentation was applauded by fellow Club members, and served as a testament to the commitment Parker has exhibited over nearly a decade.

“During her years on the committee, Jackie gave of her best to ensure the smooth operation of activities at the Kiama Tennis Club. Her contributions included extensive hours spent organising event catering and leading fundraising initiatives that have played a pivotal role in the club's growth and success.”
