[CINC] CINC 2009 Recognition Dinner Highlights

[Shauna Bingham]

Dear CINC Volunteers:

Thank you for another great year! We appreciate your dedication and 
service.

Congratulations to CINC Volunteer of the Year Staci Kaye-Carr. Staci has 
contributed 718 hours to the sanctuary and park over the past year! 
Staci always does her work with enthusiasm and the staff at the 
sanctuary and park are very fortunate to have her talents and smiling 
face on our team.  We are sincerely grateful to Staci for her 
exceptional dedication, and congratulate her as this year's recipient of 
the Channel Islands Naturalist Corps' Blue Whale Award!.

Channel Islands National Park announced the winner of this year's George 
B. Hartzog, Jr. Award for Enduring Service, given to only one member of 
the Pacific West Region of the National Park Service each year. This 
year that honor has gone to David Begun. Since 1993, Dave has gone 
beyond the normal call of duty and contributed well over 10,000 hours of 
what George Hartzog described as his "most valued possession----his 
time."  Dave has donated in the range of 800 hours annually, often 1,000 
hours, which is equivalent to a seasonal employee. As most of you know, 
the park is very fortunate to now have Dave as part of their staff.

Please see attached photo highlights from the dinner.
