community and always find time to give back. Volunteer Services appreciates
their willingness and enthusiasm, and their readiness to assume the extra
responsibilities.
Julie and Zach's contributions are significant and they take volunteering
very seriously. Moreover, it was impossible to nominate one without the
other.
