August 2024 All Stars

Clay & Tracey Rodger, Tom Price: Tracey and Clay are powerhouse volunteers within our community. This nomination is an appreciation and recognition of their work specifically in arranging for our eager swimmers to travel to Newman weekly for the month of August to enable them to get some training in. They recognised a need, brought the idea to the committee, and have been instrumental in organising these sessions which includes Clay giving up several weekend days to drive the bus load of kids there and back. On behalf of TPASC thank you for all you do Tracey and Clay!

The Stone Family, Paraburdoo: The 4 boys were out riding their bikes and showed fantastic road safety awareness by stopping and moving off the road when I started my car to reverse out the driveway. Great job boys!

Tom Fox, Pannawonica: Tom's contribution to the Pannawonica clubs and groups does not go unnoticed, Tom has played a key role in driving the town sporting competition between Onslow and Pannawonica which includes both football and Netball. Tom is also an active member in the Pannawonica sports club, fishing club, football club and the golf club which is highly appreciated.

Kealy O'Neill, Onslow: Kealy is a 16-year-old high school student in Onslow, who has done a small amount of footy umpiring in the past. Her umpiring experience was at the junior level only. Last weekend the Pannawonica's men's footy team visited Onslow for a game, and I was the only designated umpire. Kealy approached me about umpiring and offered to assist me. So, after a quick overview she found herself in the middle of a very hard-fought and very close men's footy game. There was a lot of pressure to perform, and Kealy not only did that, but she also excelled. A wonderful contribution to her community.

July 2024 All Stars

Lynsey Pyke, Tom Price: Lynsey single-handedly organises the Tom Price Community Markets each month as a volunteer. Lynsey is consistently working behind the scenes to create this successful event and it is always done with a smile. Lynsey is also the secretary of the Emergency Service Cadets and on the Tom Price Drive In Committee. Not only does she continuously give back to the community, this is all done while managing her full time job and many family commitments.

Paraburdoo Maori Cultural Club, Paraburdoo: The PMCC are incredibly active in the Paraburdoo community and are always keen to lend a hand. Their efforts are not always noticed but their work with kids and efforts to assist the community is greatly appreciated.

Tess Giancono, Pannawonica: Tess manages all the fresco deliveries for the town, without her volunteering to take the orders and deliveries we wouldn't have access to fresh organic fruit and vegetables.

Chloe is even regularly seen purchasing whatever is needed to get these animals back on their feet with her own funds.
