Each year, Livingston County United Way looks for people in the community who give from the heart and make things happen. If you know someone or a team that did that last year, nominate them for one of Livingston County United Way’s Annual Volunteer Awards.
Nominations are needed for the following five awards by Jan. 27:
Charles W. Itsell Volunteer of the Year Award recognizes an individual whose commitment to the Livingston County United Way and the health and human service needs of our community during the past year goes far “above and beyond” normal volunteerism. (Brian Jonckheere, Livingston County Drain Commissioner, was last year’s recipient.)
Donald Epley Lifetime Community Service Award recognizes an individual who embraces volunteerism and service to the community as a way of life, is committed to the Livingston County United Way, and over the years has made a significant impact to, and contributed to the betterment of, those lives he or she has touched. (Patti Griffith of Bank of Ann Arbor, was last year’s recipient.)
