Our December 2021 winner is a joint nominee for the first time, Amber Wright and Katie Nunn!
Their nominator had the following to say about these two great volunteers:
"Amber and Katie did an amazing job as the Chairs of Fall Classic. Coming in a little later than tradition, they quickly ramped up, got their committee together, organized weekly calls, solicited in-kind sponsors, and made sure every "t was crossed and i dotted". They work very well together to keep their committee informed and motivated. The event was a huge success thanks to their leadership.”
Both will receive a lovely framed certificate of a star registered in their names! Please join us in congratulating this due!
