GSWA held its 2009 Volunteer Appreciation Event on June 5 to thank all those who give so much of their time to the success of our mission. We have more than 300 active volunteers who donate their time to everything from stuffing envelopes, to donning hip waders for visual stream assessments, to drowning themselves in bug repellant and sun block to tackle land management projects at the CMA.
Honored for their outstanding service at this year’s event were:
Laura Costello, right, received her award from Kelly Curran, Director of Water Quality Programs, for volunteering to be our volunteer coordinator! Laura set up a system for capturing information on potential, new and existing volunteers, and storing all the details in a database that is used to match people’s skills with GSWA’s needs. Kudos Laura!
Bob Crocco, right, received his award from Hazel England, Director of Education and Outreach, for jumping in with both feet to help with the sometimes monumental task of improving and maintaining the CMA, including coordinating corporate workday volunteers. Many thanks, Bob!
Jim Northrop, left, received his award from Debra Dolan, Manager of Communications and Member Services, for almost single-handedly taking on the challenge of organizing the GSWA reference library, cataloguing everything he could lay his hands on. As announced in the July e-newsletter, the fruits of Jim’s labor are outlined under Reference Library. Well done, Jim!
Though we recognize just a few of our many dedicated volunteers each year, GSWA appreciates the work of every one of you. So, thank you all for a job well done!
