Volunteer Advisory Council is accepting nominations for the 2001 Eldercare Volunteer Awards. The awards honor volunteers who provide services to the elderly and encourage the expansion of volunteer services to elderly Arkansans. If you know an outstanding older volunteer, or volunteer group, providing help to the elderly in your community, you should consider nominating him or her for an Eldercare Award. These awards are a chance for all of us to recognize these efforts and say how much their work is appreciated. Each year at the annual Aging Conference, the Aging Services Volunteer Advisory Council presents awards to Eldercare volunteers who provided services to the elderly in the previous year.
Winners can come from any part of the state.
Each winner and his or her spouse or friend is invited to attend the Aging Conference Awards Luncheon at noon August 3 at the Hot Springs Convention Center. Winners will receive an award certificate and paperweight commemorating their achievement. All nominees will receive a Governor's Award of Excellence from the DHS Division of Volunteerism. Nominations are due by May 15, 2001.
