The week past was National Volunteer Week, thanks to Origin. Finishing on Sunday 24 May, the theme of this year's National Volunteer Week was 'Changing Communities. Changing Lives.'
For our #GoodEnergyGoodPeople competition, we celebrated all the volunteers in our netball community that do amazing work in their clubs and leagues. See below for some incredible stories from a handful of volunteers that were nominated.
Whilst we celebrate all our volunteers and the essential role they play in our communities, we are very happy to announce the winner of our #GoodEnergyGoodPeople competitions is Jessie Woods. Jessie has won a brand new tablet and will receive a message from Melbourne Vixen, Liz Watson.

Di Van Doren
Lara Netball Club would like to recognise Di Van Doren. Di Van Doren is Lara Netball Club Secretary and a very valued volunteer of the club.
Di has been apart of Lara Netball for over 10+ years and has done it all - from scoring, organising score sheets and coaching. Our committee and playing group are so appreciative of the hard work that Di puts in on game day, training nights and behind the scenes so that we can play the game that we love. Not to mention the endless laughs she provides. Lara Netball club would not be the same without our Di!
Hannah Russell
Hannah Russell found herself at Catani through friends back in 2013 and has been a permanent fixture since clocking up over 100 games. Not only does Han play the game, Captaining our B Grade team to a flag last year, but she has been a junior coach since 2015 and also umpired many games including being the umpire coordinator. It’s not unusual to see Han arrive before 9am to mentor a junior umpire, then coach, then umpire then play... all in a days work at Catani! It was no surprise Hannah won our 2019 Best Clubperson award!
Thanks Hannah for everything you do for Catani Football & Netball Club!
