Hats off to BWC Volunteers of the Year

BONSALL – The Bonsall Woman’s Club (BWC) celebrated at their April meeting with the theme “Hats through the Ages.” Members honored this popular theme by wearing hats they were particularly fond of for a variety of reasons. There were an array of hats displayed with prizes awarded in several different categories.

The ladies had a great time wearing their distinctive hats. However, as the meeting progressed, so did the anticipation of who would be announced as the recipient of the Volunteer of the Year Award, given annually during the April meeting.

The selection committee had a tough task because all the members feed off each other’s quests to improve the club and the community through their volunteer service. The difficult decision was made even more difficult for the committee because so many members are so very active in so many different categories.

It was impossible to select just one recipient this year. Therefore, two ladies were selected to be awarded the honor of being the Volunteers of the Year. Both of these ladies have wonderful personalities, beautiful smiles and went above and beyond what is expected of BWC members. When asked to help, they never say no and can be relied on to volunteer without asking.

To the delight of the members present, Renee Barnes and Claudia LaBarge were announced as Volunteers of the Year for 2013 – 2014. They received a much deserved standing ovation.
