Volunteer Awards
The Robert L. Silber Award goes to a volunteer who
has shown dedication, commitment and who has served
in extraordinary ways. Robert L. Silbur was a volunteer
with RFB&D for over 50 years. In honor of his service
and memory, we have named this award after him. This
year after the nominations were in, two candidates rose
to the top and we couldnt choose just one. Please
join us in honoring Lucy Jolas-Bates and Debbie Weiner
as 2008s Robert L. Silbur Award winners.
Lucy
Jolas-Bates has been a volunteer with the Rocky
Mountain Unit for 27 years. In those years Lucy
has read, directed, edited, marked books and trained
other volunteers. There isn't a job Lucy hasn't
done. She truly has a heart of service and will
do whatever is needed. She has seen the conversion
from RFB to RFB&D as well as the transition
from analog to digital. We have seen Lucy's family
grow, to include her son Christopher, now a second
grader. Lucy served on the Board of Directors and
continues to be involved on committees, giving of
her time and talents. She continues to read and
train others to this day. Lucy's passion and dedication
to the mission of RFB&D is wonderful. Thank
you Lucy for your dedication. |
Debbie
Weiner has been a committed volunteer for almost
40 years. Debbie first heard about RFB from a friend,
Betty Fitz. She was hooked from the first day she
entered the old studio at Ross Cherry Creek Library.
A retired medical researcher, Debbie is a specialty
reader in the field of medicine. Debbie served on
the Board of Directors for 25 years, serving as
Chair for two of those years. Her love for RFB&D
has been evident throughout her years of service
and the friendships she has made. "I've made
so many friends; because of the mutual commitment
to RFB, these friendships have lasted and deepened
over the years." Debbie, thank you so much
for your commitment and bringing others to RFB&D. |
