I recognise Loretta Walker. Loretta started attending Doonside Little Athletics Centre in 2008 with her two boys, Liam and Rhys. Loretta, together with her husband, Wayne, immediately got involved and helped wherever needed, including time keeping and recording, setting up tents at carnivals and supporting junior athletes. Her canteen duties are onerous, including watching out for specials to stock the canteen, scheduling volunteers, cooking sausages and backing up in the off-season for school carnivals. Loretta is generally the first to arrive and the last to leave. Loretta has held various committee positions, including treasurer and canteen manager. Loretta is one those dedicated people who keeps on volunteering even though her children are no longer there. Loretta works in our education system and volunteers for the bakery run to have fresh bread and food for the school's breakfast club. I thank Loretta for her endless commitment to the club and the school. I congratulate Loretta Walker on becoming a life member of Doonside Little Athletics Centre.
