Sweet Adeline of the Year 2022
Awarded to Narelle Greentree
Narelle Greentree is one of our most active and participatory members. For years she has done quiet things in the background as well as in an official role. Many times she has put up her hand for the more time-consuming or awkward tasks.
Narelle served on the Management Team in 2016, looking after fund-raising and applying for grants. In 2017 she attended Music Team meetings and became the Events Coordinator in 2018 and was on the Concert Committee in 2019.
Narelle was Deputy Team Coordinator in 2020 and 2021, and was elected unanimously as Team Coordinator for 2022.
At all times, Narelle conducts herself in an elegant and calm manner. Her beautiful voice is an asset to the Lead Section. Nothing ever seems to be too much trouble and she never complains, but gets on with the job at hand, whether it is clearing out the store-room, searching (eternally) for new rehearsal venues or opening her home for section practices, in addition to her official duties.
We are proud to have Narelle as Sweet Adeline of the Year for 2022 for Hot Ginger Chorus. She is a wonderful representative of the chorus and of Sweet Adelines.
