City Council helped recognize volunteers who reached over 200 volunteer hours.
Volunteers in Action
This past April, we celebrated our wonderful volunteers during
National Volunteer Appreciation Month.
Our first celebration was Tuesday, April 13 at the City Council
meeting, where we recognized those members of our VIA program
who had reached the 200-hour milestone in volunteer hours.
The following week we celebrated our volunteers that had donated
hours during 2019 and 2020. Due to COVID, we were unable to
celebrate these wonderful volunteers for their dedicated service in
2019. For that reason, we had an even more festive event with two
years of volunteer service being recognized at our drive-thru event
on April 21!
Volunteers were recognized for their
