45th Annual Volunteer Recognition Becomes a Virtual Celebration

Like most everything this year, AgeOptions’ 45th annual Volunteer Recognition had to forego its traditional festive luncheon. But we couldn’t miss the opportunity to honor the selfless individuals who give their time, energy and talents at organizations and local governments throughout the area – as well as the volunteers we rely on here at AgeOptions. We plan to recognize all the honorees at a virtual event and send each of them a gift and a certificate recognizing their contributions.
