Hello Readers!!
We would like to take the time to congratulate Marc Clark for receiving the 2010 Volunteer of the Year award at CTRC. Earlier this year CTRC held its annual volunteer party to show their appreciation to their volunteers. All of the staff, board members, volunteers of the month and volunteer supporters were all in attendance at the party.
It was not hard for the staff to agree that Marc deserved this year’s award because he has been so helpful around CTRC. Besides all of his work that he does at the facility, he puts in a lot of time outside of the organization as well. Marc brings in many new volunteers and gets many people to donate to the Paint the Pony event each year. He also cooks up all sorts of treats every week for the CTRC staff and volunteers. One of the therapists he works with, Jill, had many reasons for Marc to receive this award, “his reliability, helpfulness to other volunteers, willingness to pitch in, and the food! He definitely just goes above and beyond his role as a volunteer and truly enjoys his relationships with his riders. He is always positive no matter what the situation.” Whenever Melissa, the volunteer coordinator, something needs done around the facility he is always the first to step in and help out.
Along with the recognition, Marc was presented with a horse statue with an engraved plaque and a license plate cover that declares him "VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR 2010" for his new truck. He is very deserving of this honor at CTRC. Marc’s dedication and efforts are appreciated and noticed by the staff, other volunteers, riders and families, and even the horses. Congratulations to Marc Clark and thank you for reading! If you have a nice story of Marc, please share it below.
