Volunteers of all ages received a great big ‘Thank You? at the second annual Community Volunteer Recognition Night on April 5.
Around two dozen volunteers came together in the Clarkston High School Auditorium to listen as keynote speaker LaRon Williams, from Ann Arbor, spoke on diversity, acceptance, kindness and generosity. Williams used a mixture of African storytelling, music and drama to send his message.
The evening also included a slide show of images from throughout the year and brief messages from Clarkston Area Chamber of Commerce Director Penny Shanks and Clarkston Schools Communications Director Anita Banach.
The evening ended with refreshments and time for social gathering.
The Community Volunteer Night is a joint effort of the Chamber of Commerce and Clarkston Schools. Sponsors for the evening were T&C Federal Credit Union and Sunrise Assisted Living.
