State of the Community 2008

Volunteer Award Program

The purpose of this program is to honor individuals and groups who help create a stronger, healthier, and more united community through volunteer service.  Every volunteer in Larimer County truly makes a difference, and while each nominee will be recognized at the State of the Community 2008 luncheon, the community would like to honor one specific volunteer with a Plaque of Accomplishment and $200 to be shared with an agency of their choice.

The Presentation of the Volunteer Awards for the State of the Community 2008 will take place on June 12th at 11:30am at The Ranch Larimer County Fairgrounds. Please join us to discuss emerging issues and successful collaborations and to recognize those who give back to their community. 

Award Categories

One volunteer award will be given in each of the following categories. To recognize a volunteer, indicate for which category you are nominating and submit the nomination form and accompanying materials to United Way Volunteer Center no later than March 21, 2008.   Please direct questions to Jami McMannes at 970-407-7055 or jmcmannes@uwaylc.org.
