On Wednesday, April 24, I recognized Burlington's amazing volunteers at my annual Volunteer Appreciation Awards at the Art Gallery of Burlington.
Each year, I put out a call to local organizations to nominate exceptional volunteers for their selfless service in the community. From food security to culture, environmental work to health supports, I was thrilled to spotlight 56 dedicated volunteers that make Burlington the wonderful community it is. These volunteers were recognized for their unique talents and skills and the important impact they make through their service. Please join me in recognizing and congratulating these individuals and the incredible gifts they share with all of us in Burlington.
