The Western Montana Volunteer Center will celebrate volunteers and their contributions to our community at Caras Park on Thursday, July 17. This volunteer recognition event will take place as part of the Downtown Tonight evening music and food festival from 5:30 to 8:30 p.m.

Volunteers from throughout Missoula are encouraged to attend wearing T-shirts, caps or other clothing that identifies the agency they serve. Those volunteers who check in at the WMVC information table under the tent will receive a small thank-you gift from the WMVC.

During the evening, local volunteers who have been honored for their work by the Points of Light Foundation and Hands On Network will be recognized. In 2007 these national foundations honored Pat Ault, Bertha Croghan, Sue Cushman, Bob McDuffie, Gwen Thibodeau, Jud Moore, Jacque Isome, Kenneth Quick, Caroline Meyer and Laurie Larson.

If your organization utilizes volunteers and would like more information about how to participate in this event, please contact Jane Stoll at 552-6312.
