Volunteer of The Month

AUGUST 2018 - RUTH LEWIS (ROTORUA)

Just indispensable

This acknowledgement from the club committee comes from Pam Moore. It really says it all.

 "Ruth has been a member of the Rotorua Bridge Club for well over 30 years. She has been a committee member for nearly 30 years including two terms as President, has directed Wednesday night bridge and took the beginners’ lessons for 10 years.

Ruth is probably best known throughout the North Island as the organiser of Rotorua Bridge Club’s Christmas tournament which had been extraordinarily popular for 17 years. With her band of elves, they create a Christmas extravaganza which includes the finest Christmas quilts, glorious decorations, a delicious Christmas dinner and generous prizes. There is often a waiting list to fill the 39 tables available for players of all grades.

limelight.

However, her quiet commitment to dealing boards for all the events at the club is remarkable. Week in week out, for approximately 14 years the boards are ready for each session regardless of whether Ruth is away on holiday or has family commitments.

It is people like Ruth Lewis that ensure a club functions well and have events of which we can be proud."
