has been selected for the Monthly Volunteer Recognition
Award for May 2009. She has been a dedicated volunteer in the Special
Needs Program at the Sorensdale Recreation Center.
June is a Master Gardener
and helped design a drip system for the garden areas at the Sorensdale Recreation
Center. The implementation of the drip system entailed many different
tasks, ranging from drawing a map of the garden, measuring the flow rate and
pressure of the water source, choosing emitters appropriate for each planting
area, determining how many zones the system would need to support, sketching
a layout of where the drip tubing would be placed in the beds, determining
how the control system would work, and gathering parts that were needed to
construct the drip system.
In addition to her
technical contribution, she recruited eight additional Alameda County
Master Gardeners. Under her leadership and guidance, along with
her good humor, the Master Gardeners successfully completed the drip
system that will now help to save water and staff time. Sorensdale
Recreation Center Staff and participants have greatly benefited from
June’s garden project and are very happy to nominate her for the Monthly
Volunteer Recognition Award.
June will be eligible for the Volunteer of the Year Award for 2009,
which will be announced in January of 2010. |
