Jerry Wahl – Cincinnati’s volunteer extrordinaire

Cincinnati’s hut commander extraordinaire enjoys all the action

Cincinnati’s hut commander extraordinaire enjoys all the action Jerry Wahl of Cincinnati has found the recipe for a good life. She stays active, playing many sports, including 30 years of platform tennis. She loves the career she established as an event coordinator. She now meshes work and play by volunteering at sporting events, where she often is asked to take on a leadership position. As someone once said, “To work at the things you love, or for those you love, is to turn work into play, and duty into privilege:’ So, while Wahl works at a sports event, she really is also playing, and she feels privileged to be able to do so. “Because this is my profession, it is not a burden to do this stuff,” Wahl explains.

Wahl has been working at the Midwesterns, a three-day tournament with over 150 teams, for so many years, she can’t even count them. She manages the main hut and coordinates the hut commanders at ten other clubs during the tournament. [enlarge image to read full profile]
