We are pleased to announce our participation in the PRESIDENT’S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD program as a Certifying Organization for calendar year 2008.

This AWARD is a Presidential honor that recognizes the valuable contributions of volunteers nationwide who are answering President George W. Bush’s call to serve others through their current volunteer activities or lifetime service. As a Certifying Organization, we will identify eligible recipients, verify their service hours, and distribute the AWARD to outstanding volunteers.

Eligible volunteer service hours are not limited to those performed on behalf of the Johnson City Public Library. In fact, service hours can be accumulated through work on a variety of projects throughout the year. The only requirement is that the hours be completed within 12 months; recipients can qualify for a new AWARD each year.

To track your volunteer service hours log on to the following website:

www.presidentialserviceawards.gov

Click on the link on the right hand side of the page: Track your volunteer hours and follow the prompts. You will be asked for a record of service key: KND-28306. (Note: volunteers hours accumulated at the Johnson City Public Library can be kept on this website. You will continue to complete the volunteer sign-in sheet.)

At the end of the year the Certifying Organization will retrieve the information.
