So we’ve had a little reshuffle amongst our roster for Fairparker of the Week while I convince my modest nominee to accept, and I am delighted to announce Scott James D’Amico as our Fairparker of the Week.

Scott is a bit of a legend. This year alone, he’s coaching the Open 4 team, he’s on the committee working on facilities and he’s one of the D’Amico taxis for all Isabella Piper and Miss Tanner. As Piper assistant coaches at 9:00 and she plays at 3:20, Scott is at MDNA most of the day.

Always full of enthusiasm, if there’s a game on he’ll coach it, can calculate finals chances in his head and always puts his hand up to help. Scott is also the only man who attends and does our Tuesday Night Fitness Sessions with the players.

Speaking as a first time president, I’ve found Scott to be an invaluable ally to have on committee. Always good to bounce ideas off, he’s happy to discuss and learn things, and he’s one of the people who goes out of his way to say “You’re doing a good job Prez”

All of us at Fairpark are very proud of Scott being a part of our club. Next time you see Scott at the courts (and he’ll be there!) don’t forget to congratulate and thank him for all he does as a Fairparker

When we introduced Fairparker of the Week last year, we weren’t 100% sure it would take off. Turns out, acknowledging all the great people that go into a club is a really popular thing to do and people welcomed being nominated.

This year, we have managed to incorporate a weekly prize/gift to go with the FOTW honour so as a Presidential Decree, we decided if you won it last year, you can be nominated again this year so you can be in the running for the prize!

Anyway this weeks Fairparker of the Week is Lisa Brown.

Lisa has been our Treasurer for ages and this year has moved across to Assistant Treasurer for Julie Chalmers to learn the gig and remains as an important part of our Executive Committee.

But this years nomination came from outside of the club. Lisa is being acknowledged for her tireless work helping Lyn and Jenny at MDNA with getting registrations sorted, putting out little fires of people panicking, encouraging Club to club communications for smoother practices, and participating in mynetball for MDNA so much.

When the President of MDNA tells me what to do, I snap to! Congratulations Lisa All of us at Fairpark are honoured and blessed to have you as one of ours.

Next time you see Lisa at the courts, don’t forget to say hello, congratulations and thank you for all she does.
