31st Annual Volunteer Recognition Banquet and CRC Fundraiser!
For the past 30 years, the Community Resource Center’s Annual Volunteer Recognition Banquet has provided a forum for area organizations to put a spotlight on those who go the extra mile to make local organizations and, in turn, the community successful. The CRC is proud to provide this opportunity and deliver a fun filled evening at the same time. This year’s theme is “Superhero Volunteers.” We will be recognizing Manchester’s super volunteers who have performed feats of strength and dedication for their organizations over the years.
The 2018 event will be held on Saturday, November 3rd at St. Joseph Mercy Chelsea. The price per attendee is $50; $45 if you register by Friday, October 5th. If you are attending with a group, please let us know so we can arrange seating to meet your needs. Cocktails and appetizers start at 6:00 p.m. and dinner at 7:00 p.m. Volunteer recognition will take place throughout the evening with the special award winners announced at the end of the event. The Banquet also has a wonderful silent auction fundraiser with many new items this year in addition to some old favorites. Back by popular demand – a few select items will once again be auctioned “live” during the event. We hope to wrap up the evening around 10:00 p.m. with the announcement of the winning auction bids.
Just follow these easy steps to nominate one or more “super” volunteers from your organization:
• Fill out the 2018 Volunteer Nomination Form. Include information on why your nominee is so valuable to your organization, plus any other volunteer activities, past or present, he/she may be involved in.
• Ask your nominee to make his/her dinner choice from the 2018 Dinner Reply Form, and include this information for any other guests your organization is paying for.
• If you have more than one nominee, please fill-out a separate 2018 Volunteer Nomination Form for each person unless you are nominating them as a group, in which case provide information on their collective effort.
• Include a check payable to the Community Resource Center. The cost is $50 per person. Early registration incentive – save $5 per person – if you send in your payment by October 5th.
• Turn in your nomination to the CRC no later than noon on Friday, October 5, 2018 to insure your nominee is included in the selection for special awards and the program.
We look forward to hearing from your organization, and seeing you and your nominee(s) on Saturday, November 3rd!
All community members, family and friends are welcome to attend the event. It’s not only a good way to support and encourage volunteerism in the Manchester community, it’s a great way to support the programs and services offered by the Community Resource Center!
