Volunteers Recognized by Governor's Office

We're thrilled to share that both our dedicated volunteer, Ed Stevenson, and our Cox Arboretum Woodworking volunteer group were 
recently nominated for a prestigious ServeOhio Award. The ServeOhio Awards are designed to acknowledge the outstanding contributions of individuals, groups, and initiatives across Ohio that have made significant impacts on their communities through service and volunteerism.

While neither Ed nor the Cox Arboretum Woodworkers were ultimately selected as the award recipient, their remarkable service did not go unnoticed. They received certificates from Governer Mike DeWine recognizing their exceptional dedication, outstanding service, and valuable contributions to our community.

We are incredibly grateful for their unwavering commitment and are proud to have these volunteers as an integral part of our volunteer team. Their passion for serving others is truly inspiring, and we're delighted to see them receive this well-deserved recognition.
