THE 60 PLUS SENIOR PROGRAM WINS "BE THE DIFFERENCE AWARD"

It is with great pride that the Diversity Center announces that our very own 60Plus Senior Program Committee has been awarded a 2018 Be the Difference Award!

This annual event, sponsored by the Volunteer Center, selects only 5 recipients of this award from over 50 nominees. Collectively, the committee, consisting of Bev Bishop-York, Doug Urbanus, Francis Garcia, Joe Eugene, Larry Friedman, Tom Ellison, Anne Forsberg, Marc Zammit, Colleen O'Connell-Northcutt, Steve Trujillo, David Crain, and Bob Pitman, have given over 5000 volunteer hours since the program's inception 15 years ago.

Their dedication and commitment has not only helped the 60Plus Senior Program grow and flourish, but also ensures that the increasing needs of our community's LGBTQ+ seniors continue to be addressed and remain visible.

To Our Dear Diversity Center Volunteers & VolunQueers,
 
You support us every day and we'd like to celebrate you! We're having a Volunteer Appreciation party where we celebrate your valuable contribution to our organization.

Without you, we would not be able to keep our doors open Monday through Friday, have as many peer support group meetings like we do and put on our annual Gala extravaganza. In fact we have determined that if we had to pay all our volunteers our budget would have to increase by 1.2 million dollars!

 
Please join us for our
Volunteer Appreciation Party

Thurs. Oct 25, 2018
5:00 pm - 7:00 pm
