More Than 70 Volunteers Will Receive Awards at Special City Hall Meeting

The city of Westlake will award certificates to more than 70 volunteers at a special ceremony on Thursday, April 18 in Council Chambers at Westlake’s City Hall.

The ceremony starts at 6:45 p.m.

Among those honored guests are 4-year-old Anna Lassen who participated in a food drive for the City’s food bank as well as those who have served as auxiliary police, magistrates, commissioners, advisory board members and in a variety of other ways to provide much-needed service to the city of Westlake and its residents.

During the recognition event, nine volunteers will receive the President’s Volunteer Service Award. The President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation was established in 2003 to recognize the valuable contributions volunteers are making in our communities. This award program is a way to thank and honor Americans who, by their demonstrated commitment and example, inspire others to engage in volunteer service.

Mayor Dennis Clough is expected to make a special presentation to one volunteer during the event.

It is anticipated that The Honorable Johnnie Wall, mayor of Tralee, Ireland will personally enroll a volunteer as one of three first members of the newly established organization, The Friends of Tralee at the conclusion of this volunteer recognition event.
