Volunteer of the year award

---

Every year since 2007, members of WAHS have chosen a person who has committed extraordinary time, effort and/or financial contributions during that year to WAHS and its mission. The Volunteer of the Year Award is given to members and non-members alike.  The decision is difficult because there are always several very deserving candidates!  Nominations are taken from members.  Voting takes place in October and the award is presented in November at the general membership meeting.  We would like to congratulate all past recipients for their devotion to our organization!
