Volunteers of the Year -- 2009 |
For the first time ever,
Preservation Parks chose an entire family for its Volunteer
of the Year!
Ken, Kathy and Amanda Varian began volunteering only a
year-and-a-half ago, but truly jumped in with all six feet.
They can be seen helping in one capacity or another at
nearly every park event, always with smiles on their faces
and a lot of energy.
Little Amanda even helped with our door-to-door canvassing
prior to the 2008 parks levy. She never tired and we
think she garnered a lot of votes for the Park District!
Preservation Parks staff and volunteers thank the Varians
for their enthusiasm and dedication to the parks.
Please take a look at the Varian’s Q & A on the Volunteer
Page.
