UTUIA seeks 2001 Volunteer of the Year
The United Transportation Union Insurance Association is looking for a special person to honor as its 2001 Volunteer of the Year.

Do you, or someone you know, regularly volunteer at a hospital or nursing home? Lead a Boy Scout or Girl Scout troop or work with the handicapped? Involved in some other activity that benefits those in your community? If so, we would like to know about it.

A panel of judges at the UTU International will review all submissions and select the 2001 Volunteer of the Year. The individual selected as UTUIA Volunteer of the Year will receive a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond and a plaque of appreciation from UTUIA. Additionally, he or she will be honored at the 2001 UTU/UTUIA Regional Meeting nearest his or her home (all expenses paid by UTUIA). Also, 20 runners-up will be selected to receive certificates of appreciation for their volunteer efforts.

Deadline for submission of nominations is February 28, 2001.

The outstanding individual will be notified by registered mail, and certificates of appreciation will be forwarded to runners-up as soon as possible. Decision of UTUIA judges is final. Previous nominees may be nominated again, however, former Volunteers of the Year are ineligible to receive awards.

The Volunteer of the Year program is designed to accomplish many things, not the least of which is the opportunity for UTUIA to let its fraternal light shine. It also provides an opportunity for UTUIA to recognize its volunteers for their outstanding contributions to others.

Nomination forms (available in the print and web editions) should be mailed to: UTUIA Volunteer of the Year, Attn.: Sandra Kranick, UTU/UTUIA Fraternal Coordinator, 14600 Detroit Ave., Cleveland, OH 44107-4250. Don't forget to include a separate sheet of paper describing the volunteer activities.
