Rewarding ENC’s Finest

On top of complex schedules and busy lives, 11 ENC volunteers stood above the rest by receiving one of the most distinguished awards in community service: The President’s Volunteer Service Award. The award is given to individuals who dedicate a great deal of their time to the betterment of their organizations, and this year, ENC recognized the following for their tremendous work: Alice Apkarian (volunteer of the year; see picture on right), Dennis Campbell, Jeanne Fisher, Darlene Letnes, David Nishioka, Jamie Perlman, Ruth Wolpe, Weston Butera, Jordan Castleton, Ian Fries, and Mike Krasel.

Whether its docenting the museum, cleaning up the butterfly house, or serving as junior naturalist, these volunteers put in countless hours to help ENC provide quality education through hands-on experience with nature. The result of their efforts are often unseen from the outside, but here in ENC, their contributions make a huge difference, and not without notice.

Director of Education Lori Whalen took a few minutes last week to acknowledge the support that the volunteers deliver. “The ENC was built through the efforts of volunteers, and it continues to function smoothly with their invaluable assistance,” she says. “The volunteers that received this special honor have gone above and beyond the call of duty to help the ENC.”

A 3 ½ acre classroom, the ENC provides a great place to volunteer, whether you are looking to build your resume, try new things, or simply make a difference in your community.
