2009-2010 Service Award Winner(s)
While there were many members that volunteered their time to make Charter Oak the outstanding camera club it is, two of the nominees really stood out. So much so, in fact, that the Service Award Committee decided the only thing to do was to honor both of them. Drum roll please……. The recipients of the COPS Service Award for the 2009-2010 season are Aaron Nguyen and Cindy Gosselin!
In addition to holding the position of Secretary on the Board, Aaron is there week in and week out to open the meeting hall, do the setup and breakdown, help the guest speakers with their equipment, and just generally pitch in wherever he can, even filling in to score the digital competitions when needed.
As you all know Cindy is stepping down after more years of being the editor of the Slide-O-Gram than anyone can count (rumor has it that she helped Gutenberg design the printing press so she wouldn’t have to write everything out by hand). While also serving as Co-Director of the NECCC Electronic Interclub competitions, Cindy has managed to find the time to stay involved in every activity the Club puts on.
The one trait both of these members have is the willingness to help out wherever and whenever needed to make COPS a great Club to belong to. And, they always do it with a smile on their face! Congratulations to this season’s winners!
Congratulations to both Cindy and Aaron. Your contributions to the club are so appreciated. Cindy, I always look forward to reading the Slide-O-Gram and I know the many hours of work it took to get that together every month and your make a point to greet people and make them feel so welcome at the club meetings. Aaron, I know you are always there to lend a hand and volunteer when needed. You always step up. At our board meetings, keeping track of all the information being presented can’t be an easy task, thank you for taking on that position. Congratulations to you both of you. Sue DeMaio
Congrats to you both….thanks for being there for all of us….
