November/December
Matt Kirk, Warren Tang and Norm Lew are our first ever joint Volunteers of the Month. These three Union-ites affectionately known as "The Watchmen" for the fifth season of Parity League are the driving force behind TUC's most popular league. Anyone who has played in TPL knows how much time goes into stat keeping, trading and smack talk on the BBS. These three guys do a fantastic job of number crunching and making it super exciting for the rest of us on top of the regular league convening duties. Make sure to give them a massive hi-five when you see them next!
TUC thanks The Watchmen for their time and labour. We would like to award them with two $50 gift vouchers to Whistler's! Wanna help out like Matt, Warren and Norm? Email us at volunteers@tuc.org.
October
Jessica Chen is our 2014 October Volunteer of the Month. Jessica came to our aid (and yours!) by committing two full days, 8am to 6pm to the Monarch Park Dome setup. After a rain out delay, we were very lucky volunteers like Jessica came along for the make up day and putting in the hard yards. If you see her around, please thank her for the dome that you will be playing in all indoor season!
TUC thanks Jessica for her time and labour. We would like to award her with a $50 gift voucher to Whistler's! Wanna help out like Jess? Email us at volunteers@tuc.org.
September
Carter Chin is our 2014 September Volunteer of the Month. Amidst all the chaos that was the rain out and rescheduling of Playoffs, Carter was shining light for us on both weekends. He helped out as a full time volunteer for both playoffs days and the all star challenge, whilst managing to win his division and take the spirit title with Blackout. Carter is a strong volunteer and a joy to have around as he instantly cheers everyone up he comes into contact with (or reaches across the fields with the megaphone he 'acquired' from TUC).
TUC thanks Carter for his hard work at playoffs and we would like to award him with a $50 gift voucher to Whistler's! Wanna help out like Carter? Email us at volunteers@tuc.org.
August
Alan Cheung is our 2014 August Volunteer of the Month. Alan was the head coach for the Agincourt Toronto Juniors Summer League for 2014. He put in a great deal of time and effort over his summer to help out a large group of up and coming ultimate players. Alan had more than 80 players in his division and was a very reliable coach from both behind a disc on the field and behind his computer doing admin for the league.
This is also not the first time Alan has helped the club out! He has been a long time volunteer with us, earning volunteer of the month back in 2011!
TUC thanks Alan for his hard work across the summer and we would like to award him with a $50 gift voucher to Whistler's! Wanna help out like Alan? Drop us a line at volunteers@tuc.org
July
Kenny Ye is our 2014 July Volunteer of the Month. Kenny put in some long hours on both days of the Midseason Classic this year, together with his team mates on Bulldogs. He was a very reliable volunteer who took initiative on all of his duties will minimal direction and management all day. Often times we would look for the golf cart to do a water run, only to see Kenny driving down the hill with a tray full of refilled bottles on his way to the fields, he was on the ball! We would also like to give a special shout out to the rest of the volunteer crew at the Midseason as they help to make it a very smooth tournament this year.

Rhyin Newell is our 2014 February Volunteer of the Month. Rhyin was a huge help to the club, coming along to work the high school tournament Catch The Spirit on the 27th and 28th. Rhyin was there early for set up and one of the last volunteers to leave on both days. He took charge of the main field both days, time keeping, score keeping, and a little bit of coaching where needed. Rhyin was completley on top of all tasks the whole time.
