Sister Bay Looking for Outstanding Volunteers
By Sister Bay Advancement Association
Sep 14, 2011 - 8:15:11 AM
Do you know someone who has brought vital, life-changing contributions to an organization or community by volunteering, especially in the Village of Sister Bay or the Town of Liberty Grove? The Sister Bay Advancement Association is again offering the Sister Bay/Liberty Grove Volunteer of the Year award to recognize volunteers by recognizing someone who has volunteered their time, skills and expertise in the northern end of the peninsula.
Deadline for nominations is Oct. 5, 2011, and the form is available online at www.cometosisterbay.com (under the Latest News box on the home page) or by calling 920.854.3230.
The Sister Bay Advancement Association (SBAA) is sponsoring the Volunteer of the Year award as a means to highlight the local organizations supported by volunteers and to raise awareness of local volunteer opportunities.
“The response last year, the first year, was fantastic,” said Ron Kane, president of the SBAA. “We want to continue to recognize the people in these two communities who give their heart and soul toward helping the communities they live in be better places. A majority of volunteers give so much without ever receiving anything in return. This is our way of saying thanks, of recognizing the time, energy and selflessness of volunteers.”
The SBAA Board of Directors will review all nominations to select the Volunteer of the Year recipient, based on descriptions of the nominee’s volunteer activities, as outlined on the Volunteer of the Year form. The chosen Volunteer will be announced at the 66th annual Fall Fest during the Saturday morning parade (Oct. 15), and will receive a unique piece of art created by a Sister Bay/Liberty Grove artist.
To be eligible for the Volunteer of the Year award, nominees must have volunteered their time and services within the Village of Sister Bay or the Town of Liberty Grove, within the last year – from October 2010 through September 2011 – and must not have received monetary compensation. All volunteers are eligible, even if nominated the previous year.
For more information, or to fill out a nomination form, visit: www.cometosisterbay.com; call Paige Funkhouser at: 920.854.3230, or email: coordinator@cometosisterbay.com.
