CONGRATS TO JAMES McCULLY, TUC VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR 2008!
 James has been an instrumental leader of our TUC leagues, both as overall Summer League Convenor for the last two years and Convenor for our popular Thursday Hangar Indoor Leagues for the last 3-4 years. As Summer League Convenor, James assisted our nightly leaders with field issues and conflict resolution. He also reviewed scheduling to ensure field equity and was a big contributor to our new ladder/division system. As Thursday League Indoor Convenor, James has steadily improved the league by making tweaks to the system and hosting an organized draft night. Chances are, if you played in a league in 2008, James contributed to the success of that league!
From our Board of Directors, our staff, and our members, thanks James!
Thanks to our sponsors Steam Whistle, MLSE, and GAIA for supporting our volunteer awards! Interested in volunteering in 2009? We need volunteers in 2009! Contact volunteers@tuc.org.

Greg Schmidt
is the November Volunteer of the Month.
A longtime player and contributor, Greg has been an instrumental volunteer leader for TUC. He is most notably our Webmaster and has donated HUNDREDS of hours in the last few years to the continuous improvement of our website. Greg can often be found on the field or at TUC events, always helping out and doing the little things that enhance the TUC member experience.
The ease with which TUC members do so many of the things we take for granted, such as registration and scheduling, is very much thanks to Greg's work. He's also an incredibly helpful contributor on the TUC forums (as well as being the reason they work at all). We thank Greg for his technological genius and his ongoing contributions to the Toronto Ultimate Club.
Each V.O.M. will receive $50 Scally’s Dollars that can be used towards any purchase at Scallywags.
