Judy Corrado -- over
100 hours since March 2009
Judy has been volunteering at
the Visitor Center office for a little over a year.
"I
love the variety of jobs - it never gets boring! But
mostly I enjoy the contact with people and
sharing our wonderful comunity with the visitors.
Outside of
volunteering with the VIC, I donate my time
to other places such as the Friends of Mariners
Trail, Wonder of Christmas Nativity Exhibit, PEO
Sisterhood-Chapter CD, Rahr West Art Musuem and Trinity
Alliance Church.
When I'm
not volunteering , you will find me biking on the
Mariners Trail or helping with one of the flower beds on
the trail. I love reading and playing word games and
puzzles with my husband. Now that I'm retired
I travel more - Life is good!"
Thank
you Judy, for your friendly
personality and enthusiam for our community!
And congratulations, Judy, for receiving the
Two Rivers Parks and Recreation Department's
Outstanding Citizen Commitment
Award! |
