Thanks for coming to our annual Volunteer Recognition Breakfast! This event is a great opportunity to recognize volunteers and the important role they play in our community. We also announced the winners of our Outstanding Volunteer Awards. Each winner received $500 to donate to a nonprofit of their choice. When each winner makes their choice, we will announce it on our blog.
