Thursday, November 12 was an awesome night at the Community Foundation of Sarasota County. Sarasota Audubon honored eleven long-time members of our chapter for their passion and commitment to the environment.
Mary Bader, Rusty Blackwell, Owen Comora, Jean Edmundson, Jim Edmundson, June Mades, Betty Matthews, Ron Platt, Arnie Rawson, Veronica Tarnowski and Beverly Zimmer received accolades for their involvement as volunteers, trip leaders and environmental activists right here in SW Florida.
The lives and accomplishments of our honorees were really something to hear as President Jeanne Dubi spoke about them from the podium. We're pretty darn proud of our people--long-standing volunteers who have done so much to bring the joy, beauty and importance of nature into the forefront of our citizenry's minds.
Jeanne estimated that a collective 80-100 years of volunteer effort was represented by the 11 men and women being recognized. WOW. Congrats to everyone!
