SANTA ROSA (May 7, 2019) — The American Red Cross of the California Northwest honored three volunteers from Lake and Mendocino counties at its annual Volunteer Recognition Lunch on March 16, 2019, at Riviera Hill Restaurant, in Kelseyville.
Volunteers honored at the dinner include:
In addition, a number of people were honored at the event for the number of hours they volunteered to the Red Cross in 2018.
While the annual event spotlights several key volunteers, the event is designed to acknowledge all of the Red Cross's local volunteers says Nicole Massey, Volunteer & Youth Services Manager for Lake and Mendocino counties. "Our volunteers fill a number of important roles in serving our communities," says Massey. "Their selfless contributions of time and energy make the work of the Red Cross possible."
