Recently, DCL recognized 76 volunteers with the President’s Volunteer Service Awards, the nation’s most prestigious service award. The awards honor those who, by their commitment, inspire others to engage in volunteerism.
For these awards, hours were tracked from January 1 to December 31, 2019. Volunteers earned award levels based on their service hours during that 12-month period: 67 bronze, two silver, and seven gold awards were earned by our volunteers.
The seven gold winners for 2019 are:
- Lakshmi Ganapaneni – Parker teen volunteer
- Lavan Vivekanandasarma – Parker young adult volunteer
- Ethan Baird – Parker teen volunteer
- Doran Trietley – Castle Rock teen volunteer
- Mreedul Gupta – Lone Tree teen volunteer
- Kaitlyn Robison – Highlands Ranch and Roxborough teen volunteer
- Ankit Mukkamala – Highlands Ranch teen volunteer
In addition, the DCL Board of Trustees’ combined hours in 2019 qualified for a group silver award, and the DCL Foundation’s combined hours in 2019 qualified for a group bronze award.
Congratulations to all of our award winners!
Having had the opportunity to work closely with our volunteers through out the district for a variety of events, I am humbled to say we are beyond fortunate for and appreciative of the many talents, efforts, and hours dedicated by these folks to these libraries.
Thank you volunteers!!
