JAN JUC SLSC

At the Jan Juc SLSC Annual General Meeting on Sunday 19 July, members proudly recognised 40 years of outstanding service and contribution from Jodie Reyntjes by unanimously approving her nomination for Life Membership.

Jodie joined Jan Juc as a Nipper in 1982/83 and has remained actively involved ever since. Her contribution has spanned lifesaving, Nippers, competition, fundraising, events, administration, governance, communications and community involvement.

After gaining her Bronze Medallion in 1986/87 and patrolling through to 1992/93, Jodie's focus shifted towards event management and administration. She has held numerous leadership roles, including Nipper Team Manager, Lifesaving Events Team Manager, competition official and judge, and Board Member - Fundraising & Sponsorship Director.

Jodie has also made an extraordinary contribution to some of the Club's longest-running events. She was involved with Danger 1000 for an incredible 27 consecutive years and has contributed to Bells Bash, Cycle to Surf and the Jan Juc Annual Golf Classic.

Her contribution to Club communications has also been significant, including managing the website, social media, newsletters and Annual Report when the Communications & Publications Manager position was vacant.

Jodie has been recognised throughout her time at the Club, including receiving the Rosemary Zuluaga Memorial Trophy for Most Outstanding Female Member in all areas three times.

Forty years of service is an extraordinary achievement, and Jodie's commitment to Jan Juc continues today. Congratulations, Jodie, and thank you for everything you have contributed to our Club. A very worthy Life Member!
