Lorraine has represented Hills at CAWA Competitions for over two decades - a huge undertaking in anybody's terms. Because of her unending support in this area, Hills rosters are always covered.
Similarly, the equipment officer role has been efficiently coordinated by Lorraine for the past 22 years
with equipment readily available to all sections. Lorraine personally visits each class to ensure the girls are all fitted correctly.
Team managing ins on of the most time consuming and difficult roles in any club with the junior team

On to of these duties Lorraine has always made herself available to assist with costuming, running up dozens of leotards over the years. Always eager to help out, just one phone call and Lorraine will be driving around the metro area collecting material, uniforms, trophies - in fact anything we ask her to chase up - always with a smile!
Lorraine is a staunch supporter of the 'Hills Graceful Solo Competition', giving her time over the full weekend and filling rosters where needed.
Together with her husband Andy, Lorraine has also volunteered many, many hours towards ensuring that CAWA State Team runs well. Nothing is too difficult for Lorraine.
Lorraine is a warm and generous lady who has been a constant source of support to many club members over the years; always actively working towards making people feel welcome. Her loyalty,
hard work and dedication to both Hills and CAWA is indeed beyond reproach.
We consider Lorraine a true friend and an irreplaceable club and association member and believe that she is extremely worthy of the CAWA Volunteer of the Year award.
Congratulations Lorraine. So well deserved.
