Mollie is rookie of the month

Umina Surf Life Saving Club rookie Mollie Murphy has been awarded the Central Coast Surf Life Saving Rookie of the Month award for her outstanding contribution and dedication to Surf Life Saving.

Mollie helped with activities at the club's annual surf camp which involved fun, educational activities with young age groups.

The club invited vision-impaired children from Vision Australia to participate.

"These children needed one-on-one support throughout the day for their safety and enjoyment and Mollie proved herself a great ambassador for Umina as well as the Surf Lifesaving movement," said club publicity officer Mr Carl Krucler.

"Mollie is a quiet natured youth who always helps out whenever she can, no matter what the task.

"She recently spent six plus hours walking through the Ocean Beach caravan park selling raffle tickets to raise much needed funds for her club.

"She helped at our annual sponsors' night.

"She attends her patrols, is punctual and is always in full rookie uniform including hat and always has a smile on her face."
