I acknowledge and celebrate the incredible contributions of Ant Ritter, the outgoing president of Scarborough Wombarra Surf Life Saving Club. For the past 15 years Ant has been at the helm of this remarkable club, guiding it through challenging times and transforming it into the vibrant community we know today. When Ant first joined Scarborough Wombarra Surf Life Saving Club 20 years ago as a new father keen to develop some surf rescue skills, he probably did not imagine the impact he would have. What started as a desire to give back to the community grew into a deep and lasting commitment to beach safety and community spirit. His efforts, sparked by something as simple as a scrap of paper in his letterbox, calling for volunteers, have reverberated throughout the northern Illawarra. Under Ant's leadership, the club has seen a dramatic turnaround. In the past three years alone, the club has grown from 17 adult patrolling members to 65. Ant Ritter's legacy at Scarborough Wombarra Surf Life Saving Club will be felt for years to come. On behalf of the community, I thank him for his outstanding service.
