AmeriCorps Seniors - RSVP Volunteer of the Year - Nancy Wilson

Nancy was helped to set up the Giving Store Registration for us when we were faced with having to create a new system. Nancy was able to create that process and create shopping forms from the data that was needed to make the transition seamless. As a result of her work, we were able to register over 400 students for the Giving Store.  We would not have been able to have a successful shopping experience for the students without her expertise, dedication, and knowledge.

You are the Bomb - Special Recognition - Bella Tarsitano

 We would like to recognize the numerous hours Bella spent redoing our website for us and  teaching our staff how to easily make updates to the site for future changes.  Before she stepped up to help us we were having neverending difficulties with a very outdated webpage that was difficult and sometimes seemingly impossible for staff to work with.  Bella changed all of that and it has empowered our agency to reach out to more volunteers and potential volunteers to serve in our community.
