2000 Hour
Service AwardsOur members
volunteer over 2,300 hours per month to a broad range of
agencies in our community. One member has over 1100 volunteer
hours this year alone. Nine other members volunteer over 400
hours per year and at least 30 volunteer over 200 hours per
year. They volunteer at churches, the Salvation Army, Decatur
Memorial Hospital, St Mary's Hospital, Meals on Wheels, Baby
Love, Easter Seals and many others. Since volunteering and
improving our community is one of the foundations of Kiwanis we
felt it was appropriate to recognize our members who are
outstanding volunteers.
Our club recognizes members who have
volunteered at least 2,000 hours of their time to the community
since 1995. They are presented a plaque in recognition of their
service and their name is also put on a club plaque with other
members who have volunteered at least 2,000 hours. After they
reach 4,000 hours they are recognized again and the information
on the plaque is updated to reflect the 4,000 hour
accomplishment. This recognition plan was the brain child of
member Wen Henby and was initiated in 1998. We now have 36
members with over 144,869 volunteer hours who have qualified for
the plaque.
The members pictured
below have all reached
the 2,000 hour level. All figures are as of
January 2012
