CopyNearly 100 people attended the Mason County Senior Activities Association and Center's 2011 Volunteer Recognition Luncheon on Friday, April 29.
The event was part of the organization's 30th anniversary celebration month. Shel-ton Mayor John Tarrant welcomed the volunteers. Center Executive Director Terri Shaw spotlighted some of the current and former volunteers serving at the center and Nifty Thrifty store, which is a major funding source for the center.
Volunteers from the Senior Nutrition Program operated by Senior Services for South Sound were also saluted. Special recognition went to Maxine Rhoades for her volunteer service at the center since 1981. The guest speaker was noted volunteer management expert Susan Lamoreaux.
Eleven volunteers also received the national President's Volunteer Service Awards for serving from between 100 and 500 hours in a year for their service through the RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program) in Lewis, Mason and Thurston Counties.
In addition to awards, the volunteers enjoyed a wonderful lunch of lemon chicken and rice pilaf prepared by local chef Treacy Kreger, who donated his time to honor the volunteers.
The event was sponsored by Maple Glen, Fred Meyer and West Coast Bank.
