In his May 2, 2024 OttawaSportsPages.ca article, Martin Cleary features NSC member-volunteers Gerald Gravelle, Cathy Kayser and Bruce Macdonald who all passed away during a seven-week stretch from late February to mid April.
Volunteers are the lifeblood of amateur sports.
If adults and teenagers didn’t step forward to coach, officiate or sit on administrative boards, there would be no sports competitions.
So, it was fitting that the third week of April was National Volunteer Week, a time when community teams, clubs and groups could say thank you to the people who dedicate their free hours, talent and energy to specific causes.
The Nepean Sailing Club is one such organization, which has been powered by volunteers since it officially opened July 29, 1979.
Unfortunately, the club was confronted with the passing of three significant volunteer members in their community during a seven-week stretch from late February to mid April.
