Sarasota, Fla. – April 20, 2014 – Cat Depot honored its volunteers on Saturday, April 12, 2014, with a Volunteer Appreciation Night party at Cat Depot. Cat Depot staff ‘worked’ the event by serving dinner to thank the volunteers for their countless hours of dedication to the animals. Volunteers mingled and enjoyed music by Tommy DiSarro, Full Swing Productions. The evening culminated with a presentation of the President’s Volunteer Service Award to 13 volunteers who each gave over 250 hours of service in 2013. Gold Level Award recipients (over 500 hours of service) were Bill Clack, Kim Schebel, and Nancy Hambleton. Silver Level Award recipients (over 250 hours of service) were Bruce Konarske, Carole Reynolds, Dana Burnett, Donna Clouser, Jeff Donahue, Katie Norvell, Martha McKlveen, Mary Budd, Peter Fender and Rebecca Paulsen.
