A great time was had by all that attended the spring recognition breakfast for RSVP volunteers. The breakfast was held at the Six Flags Great Escape Lodge, on Friday May 7^th. Over 180 volunteers and guest enjoyed the event, which was held to honor the volunteers and the extraordinary work they do in their community.

The volunteer of the year award was presented, by Project Director Jeff Stewart, to Della Shiell.

Della volunteers at numerous locations including, but not limited to, Adirondack Mountain Club, Prospect Child and Family Center, Tri-County United Way, Warren County Tourism, CWI, and numerous jobs at the Glens Falls Hospital. We thank Della for all she does in her community.
