Rec Council Seeks Nominees for Volunteer Award

It's always good to say thank you, and this time the Rancho Bernardo Recreation Council wants to help local organizations offer up the kind words to one of their volunteers.

"It's a great way to show appreciation for our volunteers," said Nick Anastasopoulos, president of the RB Rec Council.

Through Jan. 25, the group will be accepting nominations for the Glassman-Brown Recreational Leadership Award, "developed in honor of its namesakes of Stuart Glassman and Edward Brown who were the pioneers in the leadership recreation in the Rancho Bernardo Community," as described in an announcement about the award.

Up to two awards may be given this year.

The recreational hub of the community—Rancho Bernardo Community Park—is home to two buildings named after these men: The Ed Brown Senior Center, and the Rancho Bernardo-Glassman Recreation Center.

The award is aimed at unpaid volunteers in recreation (i.e. dance, etc.) and sports in the RB community.

To nominate someone:

• Write a description of the nominee's accomplishments, such as a long history of volunteering, positions held, major contributions and projects "above and beyond those of the average volunteer." 
• Mail the nomination to Jean Davis, c/o Rancho Bernardo Recreation Council, 18448 West Bernardo Dr., San Diego, CA 92127.
• Nomination letters also can be emailed to jeanldavis@yahoo.com.
• The deadline is Jan. 25.

The winner will receive a personal plaque and have his or her name engraved on the Glassman-Brown Award Recipient plaque on display at the rec center. The award will be given out at the annual Hats Off to Volunteers ceremony in April.
