Eleanor MacLean Receives 3rd Annual 2015 Volunteer of the Year Award

make this a better place.  The Kahshe Lake Ratepayers’ Association values their work and has created the Outstanding Volunteer Award.  It is presented at our Annual General Meeting and I am pleased to note that this is the third year for the award.

The award consists of three components: A certificate, from the association, that commemorates this honor; a place in our website’s virtual Hall of Fame; and a special plaque, representative of all the wonderful things our lake has to offer, a canoe paddle that has been inscribed with the recipient’s name.

I will now read you some highlights of this person’s contributions as taken from the nomination pages.

This person has contributed to Kahshe Lake in several ways. She and her family have been on Kahshe for more than fifty years.As a Board Member, she served on various Committees over the years and began handling membership very early on.  Also, she and her family were responsible for editing the Newsletter for 12 years. As well as helping to develop Kahshe’s Constitution, she assisted with editing it in 2000. She chaired the Lake Plan Committee from its beginning in 2001, and then the Kahshe Lake Plan Implementation Committee. She has continued with responsibility for membership and the Membership database since its inception. She continues to sit on two Committees: The Conservation Committee and the COM Committee. She is always most welcoming to newcomers to the Lake and to the Board, encouraging people to get involved. She is dedicated to Kahshe and has spent more hours than one could count on, working for the good of the Lake and all its residents.  She is a very worthy recipient of this award.

This is from another nomination form:

This person “probably contributed more to the KLRA over a longer period than any other member of the association during the years we have been on the lake.

What a wonderful testimony to a woman who has given and done so much for our lake.   It gives me great pleasure to present this year’s recipient of our annual Outstanding Volunteer Award to Eleanor MacLean.
