Mary Driscoll | Carol Flanders | Arlene Pionke | K9 Friends of West Bend

Mary Driscoll - West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce

 

The West Bend Area Chamber of Commerce would like to recognize Mary Driscoll for her diligence and generosity in volunteering support for our organization and representing our community.  Mary is a 1995 graduate Leadership Greater West Bend. She is a Chamber Ambassador, attending ribbon cuttings and meetings.  Mary’s enthusiasm and support of the Chamber events is immeasurable. She continually  supports the efforts of the Chamber by encouraging new businesses and promoting established chamber members.  She has served on our Golf Outing Committee, assisted at Jazz Fest and helped at the Geocaching event registration pavilion.  Mary is the Administrative Coordinator for the City of West Bend.  Congratulations, Mary!!!

 

Carol Flanders - Museum of Wisconsin Art

Carol Flanders has been a dedicated volunteer in the Museum of Wisconsin Art since 2002. She volunteers in the museum’s Archive/Library every Thursday morning and does endless filing of information on over 8,500 Wisconsin Artists and hundred’s of art related miscellaneous files.  Photocopying projects, organizing and updating our MWA scrap book of published articles have also been among her accomplishments over the past 10 years.  Carol is not only active at the museum but also volunteers in the community for her church.  Dedicated volunteers like Carol are definitely a blessing that non-profit organizations appreciate and depend on to maintain an efficient working environment.

Arlene Pionke - UW Extension Washington County

Arlene Pionke has been an office volunteer with the Washington County UW-Extension office for about 9 years.  We have several other office volunteers, but Arlene has been with us the longest.  We know that Arlene has volunteered for numerous other groups for even longer—Red Cross, Council on AODA, Museum of Wisconsin Art. 

Arlene’s duties include stuffing envelopes, labeling materials, collating and folder materials and brochures, and many other tasks that help our office prepare for our educational programs.  We asked Arlene what her favorite task was and she said, “most anything”.   We also asked why she liked volunteering at the UW-Extension office.  Of course being a diplomat she wouldn’t name any one person, she just said, “the people are friendly, and I like doing the work.” 

We know that Arlene is a very active person.  She is involved at the Hartford Senior Center and she calls bingo at the Germantown Senior Center.  With her busy schedule we know that we are lucky to have a volunteer that enjoys working with our office team.  Therefore, that “cup of coffee” that she likes so much is a small price to pay for a great volunteer.

K9 Friends of West Bend - West Bend Park, Recreation & Forestry

K9 Friends of West Bend is a huge asset to the West Bend Community.  The K9 Friends worked with our department to open the first public fenced dog park in the county. The dog park is located at Rolfs Park on 18th Avenue, across from Vogt Drive.  Fundraising for the fence and dog park amenities all came from this dedicated group of people. Thank you Sarah (with Kasper), Karen (with Brandy), Pam (with Mandy), Mike (with Bella), and Jill (with Grace and Jude).
