Congratulations to Erica Bexte, Recipient of the 2013 UFA 4-H Alumni Volunteer Service Award!
In conjunction with
National Volunteer Week, UFA Co-operative Limited and 4-H
Alberta are pleased to recognize the 2013 recipient of the UFA 4-H Alumni
Volunteer Service Award at the UFA Farm & Ranch Supply store in Vulcan,
Alberta.
Congratulations to
2013’s recipient, Erica Bexte! Erica was presented with a UFA 4-H Alumni
Service Award certificate and received a $2,000 UFA gift certificate in
recognition of demonstrating leadership through community involvement and
volunteer work.
Erica was recognized
at the Vulcan UFA location on Monday, April 7, for her outstanding
contributions to the advancement of her local community and her continued
commitment to the 4-H Alberta program.
This presentation was fitting, as
National Volunteer Week works to pay tribute to the millions of Canadian volunteers
who generously donate their time and talents to our communities and local
nonprofit organizations. Today’s young volunteers are involved and committed to
their choice causes more than ever before, and Erica Bexte is a shining example
of this promising trend.
Thank You to Our Volunteers!
The theme of National Volunteer Week 2014,
April 6 – 12, is “Because volunteer work speaks volumes” and no truer words
need to be spoken when describing our over 2,000 volunteer leaders.
