BARBARA REGISTER,
Sheffield Boot Camp
Honorable Mention,
Outstanding Employee
Volunteer
Barbara Register, secretary to the
commandant at the Sheffield boot
Camp, was nominated by the volunteer
council, whose membership realizes
that most of her assigned duties as 'vol-
unteer coordinator' and her work with
the council, is on her own time - after
hours and on weekends. She regularly
devotes her time off to council events.
Register has coordinated volunteer-
projects such as: Christmas gifts of all
students; four car washes, which netted
nearly $2,000 for the council; recruit-
ment of 15 volunteers to work at the
fall festival and ten to serve at Fort
Lancaster Days; operated a booth at the
Alley Oop celebration in Iraan; and
attended every meeting of the advisory
council (at night).
Through it all, the council volun-
teers who nominated her, commented
on her "cheerful attitude, and her ability
to get along with others, which makes it
a pleasure to work with her."
