2007-2008 Volunteer of Year Award

In 2003, an avid supporter, relentless volunteer and fan of Ringette with two granddaughters in our organization sadly passed away. Jerry Miller was a tireless worker that almost no one could keep up with. He was, among other things, a mechanic, a carpenter, a plumber, an electrician, a computer tech, a baseball coach, a teacher and most of all, the ULTIMATE volunteer. Co-workers in the English Department at Medicine Hat High School presented our association with a donation in memory of their colleague and the association executive concluded that a plaque, inscribed in Jerry’s memory, would honour him and his accomplishments as well as other dedicated volunteers in years to follow.

In keeping with this tradition we are looking for your nominations for Volunteer of the Year for the 2006-2007. Please forward all of your nominations to Sandra Mason by October 14th, 2007

sammee@telus.net

If you have a specific reason for nominating someone please include this and it will be on the voting site for everyone to read.

These nominations will then be available for your votes through a confidential web site with the final tabulation being done on November 1st with presentation of the plaque on the night of the Parent Social during Ringette week. (date and time to follow)

Think about who you would like to see honoured this year.

Past Recipients have been:

Ed and Vivian Horvath
Dave and Pat Yip
Tom Plante
Sandra and Michael Mason

Thank you for your time.
