Annual Recognition Dinner
CVIM’s Many Volunteers are Honored at the
Ninth Annual Recognition Dinner
On Thursday,
May
3, 2007, CVIM hosted its
ninth Volunteer Recognition Dinner at the Desmond Hotel in Malvern. There were
185 people in attendance including some spouses of volunteers, Board members and CVIM
staff.
It
is
always
a
privilege
to
bring
all
of
our
volunteers
together
in a
social
event
such
as
this.
Each
day
of
the
week
is
represented
by a
special
team
of
volunteers
that
do
not
know
those
who
volunteer
on
other
days
of
the
week.
The
staff
recognized
each
group
of
volunteers
that
come
regularly
to
provide
services.
It
is a
special
privilege
to
thank
them
at
this
annual
event.
After the cocktail reception and dinner, Barbara Holland, Deputy General Counsel for the Governor’s Office addressed the audience and commended the volunteers for their commitment and service to the uninsured residents of Chester County. Ms. Holland gave an overview of the Prescription for Pennsylvania and the unique challenges that the Commonwealth is facing relative to the delivery of healthcare services to all citizens.
Senator Dinniman also brought greetings to the group and acknowledged the great work being done at CVIM.
The staff presented Joseph Abbot, M.D. and his wife Bunny Abbott with a special Board of Trustees’ Resolution recognizing their ten years of service to Community Volunteers in Medicine and wished them much happiness in their retirement as volunteers. Dr. and Mrs. Abbott now spend much of their year in Florida.
Carla Sabrina-Pomponi, an instructor of the Pro Musica Studio in Kennett joined three students to provide music by a wonderful flute quartet during dinner. Our gratitude is expressed to the following students: Lauren Gerson, Avon Grove High School; Tori Emmons and Hannah Locke of Kennett Square High School. CVIM serves a number of students from these two school districts.
At this event, CVIM was
able to announce the kick off of our tenth anniversary year that will honor our
volunteers at the Aronomink Golf Club on December 14, 2007.
