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