Greece Community Partners has again planned a recognition ceremony and reception to honor volunteers in Greece. The event will be Saturday, August 18 at 2 p.m. in the Greece Eastman Room and Atrium. In the last nine years, 220 volunteers have been recognized at the yearly event.
Many organizations in Greece have volunteers that have not been recognized in the past, according to program organizers. Applications are now available to use to submit the names and information about individuals that are worthy of such recognition. Sponsorship of volunteer(s) also gives an organization additional exposure, particularly if they need to recruit new members or volunteers.
Presenters will be NYS Senator Joe Robach, Don Riley, Vice President, Mark IV and Roger Boily, past town supervisor. Each honoree will receive a trophy and gifts.
Submit the names of individuals who have made a significant contribution to the Greece community; they may or may not be a resident of Greece. These are often volunteers that are “in the background” and have not been recognized in the past. There is a submission form fee of $10 per honoree, which covers the cost of trophies. Most of the gifts, food, drinks, floral decorations and other elements will all be donated.
Applications can be submitted by organizations, friends and neighbors. Call Dick Gretzinger, 225-3276, or email richardg11@hotmail.com for information and applications. There is a limit of 25 honorees.
