Rene Gandolfi
There are so many wonderful volunteers in our District who give so much and deserve to be recognized as Volunteer of the Year, it is difficult to choose just one Volunteer of the Year, however it is a tradition and a decision that must be made. This year, there was one person who stood out: Dr. Rene Gandolfi, D.V.M.
Dr. Gandolfi has volunteered since 1987, and logged over 2,300 volunteer hours since becoming a volunteer. He has been instrumental in giving to the District, particularly in the Nature Program, and has specialized training and a gift that he has chosen to share with HARD. Dr. Gandolfi is a trained Veterinarian and has been instrumental in helping with the care that goes into the over 100 resident animals that live at Sulphur Creek, as well as the 800 injured, sick and orphaned nature wildlife that are brought in for rehabilitation each year.
