We are pleased to have Katja Hundt nominated for our

volunteer of the week. Katja is the stage manager and

assistant director of the Thompson Valley Players. She

has been invaluable during the past months in preparing

for the current play that the group is producing. Katja

is always the fi rst one there to get everything ready for

the rest of the group; she opens up, puts on the coffee

and is always ready to help in anyway including filling

in and reading lines. Katjas co-workers say she is

phenomenal, the first to arrive the last one to leave. A

true volunteer.

Great Job Katja!

Special thanks to Barriere Service & Barriere Auto Parts,

who sponsored the Volunteer of the Week program from 2005-2007

Because Youre Special

We sometimes take for granted

In the rush of all we do,

And forget to say a special thanks

To volunteers like you!So we made this book to tell you

How much all you do means,

Your gifts of time and of yourself

Are special ones indeed.
