Congratulations to Billy Leung, TUC's Volunteer of the Month for March, 2012. An avid league player, Billy currently displays his skills on multiple Winter teams including Jiggly-Puff in Monday Competitive league and Moon Unit Zappa in our Tuesday Men's league. Look for Billy to continue his trend of playing on multiple nights in the upcoming Spring and Summer sesaons.

Catherine Pak is our February 2012 volunteer of the month. Catherine is one of our more active league players. She currently plays on three separate winter league teams, including teams in our Sunday Women, Monday Elite and Tuesday Intermediate leagues. In recent months Catherine has stepped up her volunteer contributions with TUC. She has readily volunteered her time for player development in the role of instructor at several indoor skill development clinics taking place throughout the Winter months.
