The Flagler Beach Museum’s valued volunteers gathered recently to share stories and be honored during an appreciation luncheon at Blue. For the first time, the annual event included nationally recognized President’s Volunteer Service Awards for docents and leaders who had dedicated benchmark amounts of time in the past year, or during their entire tenure serving the Museum.
The museum hosted over 8,000 visitors in 2013, and more recently broke its best monthly record when they counted over 1,000 guests just in the month of March.
At the lunch, Silver Level lapel pins and certificates were awarded to those who donated 250-499 hours last year: Loretta “LJ” Dunham and Linda S. Jones. Bronze Level (100-249 hours) awards went to Sally Horvath, Ed Moore, Bill Grady, Mary Calkins, Carol Schneider, Tom McKinney and Rob Creal.
Lifetime Achievement certificates, signed by U.S. President Barak Obama, were awarded to museum founder/President Catherine Wilson for 4,224 hours served, and to museum director Terri Pruden for 8,666 hours served.
