The City of Kalamunda recently presented Sandra (Skip) Devine a Local Community Hero Award. Skip, a committee member of the Kalamunda Rangers for over six years, is known for being one of the first to put her hand up to ensure events run smoothly. Every year she takes on several roles, as well as coaching at least two teams each season.

In addition to her multiple roles on the Kalamunda Rangers committee, Skip readily volunteers at all the winter sports her children play, as coach or support, and actively participates in her own sports. She has been the President at High Wycombe Primary School P&C (and all that entails - fundraising, meetings, and canteen), and more recently Chair of the School Board.

Fellow Rangers’ volunteer Annaliese Arndt said, “Skip is my sounding board when things go pear-shaped. I don’t know how she fits everything in, but she does, with a cheery grin. Nothing is a hassle.”

Mayor Margaret Thomas JP recently presented Skip with a Local Hero Award at a small gathering.

“A great way to encourage, motivate and connect with your children is by supporting their recreational clubs and activities and by leading by example - being an active participator also,: Cr Thomas said.
