The N.C. Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service has presented the 2012 Governor’s Award for Volunteer Service to five recipients from Orange County. They are Mary Lou Chambers, Scott Pate, Daniel Toth, Richard and Linda Clark and Project Literacy.
Toth was also selected for the Medallion Award. Twenty volunteers are selected from those who receive the Governor’s Award. Medallion Award recipients were recognized at a special ceremony in Raleigh on April 19.
The Governor’s Volunteer Service Award was first given in 1979, honoring those who have shown concern and compassion for their neighbors by making a significant contribution to their community through volunteer service.
