UCC to honor volunteers

WINNIPEG - The Ukrainian Canadian Congress on February 26 announced the establishment of the UCC Volunteer Service Award. This special certificate of recognition has been established in order to recognize the service of volunteers who have advanced the work of the UCC.

"Throughout the last 60 years, the UCC has benefited from the time and talent of so many individuals within our community who gave of themselves in order to benefit others," said UCC President Eugene Czollj. "This recognition is a way of expressing our deep appreciation for the time these dedicated individuals give to enhancing the UCC at the local, provincial and national levels."

The award will be presented by UCC National at the local, provincial and national levels. Unlike previous certificates, these awards will be given throughout the International Year of Volunteers 2001 at events determined by local organizations. The Volunteer Service Award is the UCC's contribution to this important celebration.
