Dear Volunteer:
The Sons of the
American Legion Post
202,
are pleased to announce our participation in the President’s Volunteer
Service Award program as a Certifying Organization.
To date we have been privileged to certify more than 2,000 volunteer
hours.
This new Award is a Presidential honor that recognizes
the valuable
contributions of volunteers nationwide who are answering President
George
W. Bush’s call to serve others through their current volunteer
activities
or lifetime service. As a Certifying Organization, we will identify
eligible
recipients, verify their service hours, and distribute the Award to
outstanding
volunteers.
Today, we invite you to apply for this Award, if you
meet the eligibility
requirements outlined in the table below, by
contacting the awards coordinator at kianne@peoplepc.com
Given your ongoing service activities, many of you may
already meet
the requirements to receive the Award. To qualify, volunteers simply
submit
a record of their service hours to us, and we verify the service and
distribute
the Award.
For those volunteers who haven’t accumulated enough
hours of service
to be eligible for the Award, we encourage you to contact us to sign up
for additional volunteer projects available through our
organization.
We have ongoing service projects as well as one-time community projects
during Make A Difference Day, National Family Volunteer Day or National
Volunteer Week, Armed Forces Day and many more. You can participate in
these service projects by yourself, with family members, neighbors, or
colleagues from work.
Additionally, eligible volunteer service hours are not
limited to those
performed on behalf of our organization. In fact, service hours can be
accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year.
The only requirement is that the hours be completed within 12 months;
recipients
can qualify for a new Award each year.
To be eligible to receive the President’s Volunteer
Service Award, Applicants’
service hours must be confirmed by a registered Certifying
Organization.
There are three levels of the Award varying by hours of
service completed
within a 12-month period:
Kids - 14 and
younger
Young Adults - Ages
15 - 25
Adults - Ages 26
and up
Individual
Families and Groups
(two or
more people)*
*Each member contributing at least 25 hours towards the total
President’s Call to
Service Award
Individuals who have completed 4,000 or more volunteer service hours
over the course of their
lifetime are eligible to receive the President’s Call to Service
Award.
