Volunteer recognition party, Lifetime Achievement Award for those with many years of service.

When a volunteer gives us time, they see the show for free, with a friend. We also tabulate hours year over year and when volunteers reach certain milestones we recognize them in our programs. We also send them a hand-written thank you letter at the end of the year, with a small token or gift card if they reach a certain threshold.
