VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR |
 |
THE POWER OF ONE
'One' is the most compelling number. The journey of a thousand miles starts with one step. Our HAL-PC membership cards number into the 102k, but they began with one. Our Members Helping Members philosophy begins with one person sharing knowledge with another. So, it is only fitting that we honor one member who has truly made a difference. We honor George Roy as HAL-PC Volunteer of the year for 2004. Mr. Roy gives of his time and knowledge daily. With his support and the support of others, the Clear Lake Senior Learning Center is a great outlet for computer learning. HAL-PC appreciates his dedication. George received his honor at the Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon.
