Two local organizations and one individual received Governor’s Volunteer Awards this year. Christine Taylor of Pella, Quality Chicks in Monroe, and Crossroads of Pella were recognized at a ceremony in Pleasant Hill. Crossroads Director Jim Hibma says they were recognized for 25 years of service by the Senior Health Insurance Information Program (SHIIP). He says they’ve been able to help hundreds of seniors with their insurance choices and prescription plans over the years through the program. The Governor’s Volunteer Awards (GVA) program was created in 1982, and each summer, regional award presentation ceremonies are held across the state to recognize hundreds of volunteers for their commitment, service, and time.
