Flagler Humane Society volunteers recognized
Flagler Humane Society recognized its volunteers with an ice cream social this week, with three volunteers receiving presidential certificates for logging over 500 hours each at the shelter in 2013.

Volunteers logging over 100 hours in 2013 were presented awards and 10 volunteers with over 300 hours were given a presidential volunteer service award and pin. Three volunteers, Missy Harrison, Mayme Casady and Manny Confusione, had over 500 volunteer hours and were each given the presidential award pin and a personalized presidential certificate of achievement.

“Manny works at our greeter desk and is known by guests as ‘the face of FHS’ since his smile is the first thing many see when they walk through our doors,” said Gary Langley, FHS volunteer coordinator.
