At the celebration, Debra Ehrman thanked <br /> each participant and presented them with a certificate of appreciation. <br /> This year, the tree plantings have covered a wider area that spans six wards. <br /> Because the activities involve more volunteers and wards, we are proposing <br /> the six affected Councilors personally thank the volunteers for their work <br /> at a City Council meeting (Monday, April 12). We expect to recognize <br /> approximately 20 volunteers for their leadership in organizing and leading <br /> tree planting activities in their neighborhoods. Public Works would prepare <br /> the certificates and coordinate the ceremony. At the meeting, each Councilor <br /> would ask the volunteers from his /her ward to stand, then would offer a brief <br /> thank you and present the awards -- or staff could hand them out. We expect <br /> the entire recognition to take about 10 minutes, which would include a brief <br /> introduction /description of the program (by staff) and the thank you and <br /> presentation of awards (by councilors). <br /> Please call me at 687 -5523 or Jan Staszewski at 687 -5359 if you have questions. <br />
