AWS ANNOUNCES:
2007 Volunteer of the Year Award

The 2007 Volunteer of the Year is Robin Hinton, MA. She has been a member since 2001. Beginning in 2004 she began organizing and hosting AWS inspections and has organized one annually ever since.

Robin always prints a program listing all participants and local sponsor advertisements (that she solicits). The entire inspection process is well run and well organized. Robin goes out of her way to help everyone, working from "sunup" to "sundown", ensuring that the inspection runs smoothly and that all participants have a good learning experience.

Robin's Mom provides homemade soups and sandwiches. Everyone is ready to eat at the lunch break after smelling the delicious aromas all morning wetting their appetities.

The Judges are always spoiled with a basket of goodies after the inspection. The AWS appreciates Robin for all of her hard work and her willingness to offer her facility to area members. Members like Robin help to make the AWS the organization that it is!
