Volunteer SpotlightLocal Volunteers Recognized for Outstanding Dedication Dayton Habitat for Humanity held their annual volunteer recognition luncheon on January 18, 2009 at the Dayton Masonic Center. The event celebrated the organization's 25th anniversary of serving families throughout Montgomery County, as well as honoring local volunteers’ outstanding dedication to our community. Six local volunteers, Jim Basine, Gerry Cassidy, Jerry Doty, Charles Gausling, Greg Hoertt, and Clay Shriner received the Presidents Volunteer Service Award. This award is a result of George W. Bush’s call to action to challenge Americans to make time to help their neighbors, community, and nation through service. The award recognizes individuals, families, and groups that have achieved a certain standard measured by the cumulative number of hours earned over a lifetime. These six individuals received the gold level award signifying 500 or more hours of dedicated service to our community.
