GOV. EASLEY ANNOUNCES N.C. MEDALLIONS AWARDED TO STATE’S TOP VOLUNTEERS
RALEIGH – Gov. Mike Easley today announced recipients of the North Carolina Medallion for Outstanding Volunteer Service awarded by the N.C. Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service. These honorees provided valuable services to their communities, including medical assistance, home construction, and help for children and older adults.
“All of these volunteers have dedicated their time helping others and improving North Carolina,” said Easley. “Without their services, some important needs of our citizens might otherwise have gone unmet.”
The recognition is part of the N.C. Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service program, which honors individuals, groups, teams and businesses that make significant contributions to their communities through volunteer service. Since the program began in 1978, about 16,000 individuals have been recognized for their service. County coordinators and local selection committees receive and evaluate the nominations. Medallion recipients are nominated at the county level then evaluated by a panel of community service leaders from across the state.
The following are this year’s recipients and county coordinators:
