More than 600 Landings Volunteers - Making a Difference In Our Community
By Doré Ayers - dorea@landings.org
Community Relations
The list below is a distinguished acknowledgement of volunteer residents who, throughout 2009, made valuable contributions to our community through their
involvement in the Board of Directors, standing committees, sub-committees, special committees, or various organizations that support the efforts of The Landings
Association. The list of volunteer residents signifies immense hours of service and dedication, and we applaud each and every individual for his/her willingness to
contribute to the welfare of the community and beyond. Many valuable community projects would not have been conceived or implemented without their profes-
sionalism, resources, and attention. In our sincere and gracious expression of appreciation and thanks, please help us acknowledge your friends, neighbors, and fel-
low residents. More than 600 individuals have been included in this 2009 distinguished list based on the data provided by all our supporting organizations. There
may be an individual who was overlooked inadvertently. Please advise us accordingly of any oversight, as we want to make certain everyone’s valuable contribu-
tions are recognized appropriately. Many Thanks!
