Ann Craig Award

Inspired Ann Craig who was the Karilee founder, the Karilee Committee initiated the “Ann Craig Award” in 2012 while Malcolm Robertson was the president. Although the Karilee Committee calls for nominations for this prestigious award in August or September each year, it is not expected to be awarded each year as it requires continued exceptional service and long term commitment from our life members.

The Ann Craig Award is bestowed upon Life Members who continue to provide exceptional service and commitment to the club long after being awarded a Karilee Life Membership.

Below are the Karilee Life Members who have had the honour of being awarded the Ann Craig Award.
