Dreier to Recognize Youth Volunteers

SAN DIMAS, CA - Congressman David Dreier (R-San Dimas) will be presenting awards to the winner and participants of his 2009 Youth Volunteer Award Program on Wednesday, May 27th at 8:00 PM at the Arcadia Community Center, 365 West Campus Drive, Arcadia.

Sixty-three high school students from throughout the San Gabriel Valley and Inland Empire participated in this year's program. In addition to the winner and runners-up, each of the participants will be recognized for their service to their community.

Dreier began the annual award program in 1986 to honor area high school students for their volunteer community service. This year marks the twenty-third year of the program. "For many years now, I have had the privilege of recognizing some very fine students,” said Dreier. “It is very encouraging to know that there are young men and women who are taking time to help others. Their decision to volunteer is commendable and I look forward to congratulating and recognizing them."

To participate in the Youth Volunteer Award Program, students submitted an application, wrote an essay on volunteerism, and provided a letter of recommendation. They were then interviewed by a board of community leaders about their volunteer activities.

Questions regarding this event may be directed to Congressman Dreier’s San Dimas office, at (909) 575-6226.
