MEET OUR LIFE MEMBERS
Life Membership is highly regarded and prestigious award bestowed on individual club members whose exceptional, loyal and outstanding service and contribution has provided a measurable benefit to the club over an extended period of time.
Honorary Life Membership is recognised by the Yanchep Districts Junior Football Club as the highest recognition that can be awarded to a member in acknowledgement of exceptional service and contributions. As such, it should retain its prestige and not be awarded easily, and the club and its committee should not feel that a Life Member needs to be inducted each year.
Nominations can be made at any time during the football season.
Please read the below guidelines and contact president@redhawksjfc.com.au for further details.
