Recognition
Great volunteers and nonprofit staff make our area a much better place to live. Their selfless efforts organize caregiving for the sick, beautiful arts and entertainment spectaculars, teaching for the educatable, services for the needy, help for the fallen and much more. And a few of them get noticed and recognized.
Here are some of those who were recognized. This page is devoted to recording the names of those who have given that little extra.
If you see these people, thank them. If you know someone who should be on this page, nominate them. Let's show our appreciation to those that make our lives better.
