Foiidatidi honors Sullivan County Volunteers of the YearThe Sullivan County Community Foundation named Tim and Linda Gregory of the Sullivan County Soil and Water Conservation District as the 2012 Sullivan County Volunteers of the Year.The Gregorys have volunteered their time together for more than four years at the district. The pair is always willing to do anything that is asked of them by greeting tasks with enthusiastic energy, and often providing suggestions of projects that can enhance conservation.The two have prepared and delivered rain barrels for the “Art and Conservation” project, as well as created display boards to use at the local 4-H and Ag Day events.The Master Naturalists program sponsored by the district has benefited from the time the Gregorys have spent with them distributing tree seedlings and building bluebird houses.Both share a love for Indiana history and spend time working on the eighth-grade Wabash River expedition.Tim serves as a presenter for the historic section of the curriculum and dresses in time period clothing, camps for three to four days on the sandbar and hunts his own food while there.Linda encourages recycling, and always makes sure that the sandbar is left in better condition than it was found. The couple’s love of all things outdoors has advanced the Sullivan County District.In recognition of the Gregorys’ work, the district will receive a $2,500 award to assist in operational costs.In order to qualify for the Sullivan County Volunteer of the Year award, candidates had to be Sullivan County residents and had to have been nominated by their respective nonprofit, government, school or church organization. Nomination letters were reviewed by three judges who reside outside of Sullivan County and were not affiliated with any of the nominees.Five other distinguished individuals were nominated for the award including: Alice Cox from the First Baptist Church; Sonner Faught from the Sullivan County Waste Management District; Carol Gaskins from the Humane Society of Sullivan County; Bob Tomeyfrom the Gill Township Alumni Association; and Molly Woods from the Luke House.For more information contact Beth Tevlin at (812)232-2234.
