Dear
Meghan,
The Arlington Chamber
is pleased to announce that our Community Action
Committee is a recipient of Arlington's James B.
Hunter III
 Community
Hero Award for its annual Volunteer Arlington Day
initiative. The Community Action Committee has worked to
strengthen the bond between
Arlington's
nonprofits and Arlington's business community with the
volunteer project day. Volunteer Arlington Day matches
members of the business community with rewarding half-day,
hands-on service projects throughout
Arlington,
Virginia.
Coincidentally, the Chamber just held the annual event on
Saturday, April 19 and Tuesday, April 22 - marking the first
year that two days were set aside to volunteer throughout
the community.
The awards, now in their 12th year, will be presented on
Saturday, May 10 at 11am
at Ballston Common Mall. The awards
program is part of Neighborhood Day. Six individuals and
three groups will be honored with a James B. Hunter III
Community Hero Award, with an additional two Arlingtonians
receiving a Lifetime Achievement award.
Thank you to all who participated in
Volunteer Arlington Day, past and
present!
