The Surf Life Saving Australia Awards of Excellence will be decided this Saturday night in Sydney, with two of Surf Life Saving Lakes Entrance’s finest among the entries.
Club captain Eden McMillan is one of the leading contenders for the coveted National Youth Surf Lifesaver of the Year, while clubmate Jessica Woodward is in the running for the Assessor of the Year title.
For McMillan, the Life Saving Victoria Youth Surf Lifesaver of the Year recipient, it would be a culmination of years of work, beginning as a nipper and graduating to be an integral part of local club that has more than 300 members.
McMillan has served as a Life Saving Victoria Education Instructor and Development Camp Leader, become a key component in building the next generation of lifesavers.
The evening is being held at Doltone House in Hyde Park.
