Honorees recognized as part of National Volunteer Week
BRYN MAWR, Pa., April 21, 2022 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- As part of National Volunteer Week (April 17-23), ElderNet of Lower Merion and Narberth ("ElderNet") recognized five volunteers yesterday for their outstanding efforts in supporting older and disabled adults in their community.
The honorees were awarded the first annual Maud Campbell Tierney Volunteer of the Year Awards, which was created in memory of Maud Campbell Tierney. Tierney, who passed away in late 2021, was an active member of the community, supporting a variety of non-profits, schools and animal shelters. Tierney also greatly enjoyed working with ElderNet, driving elderly community members to doctor's appointments and building friendships with those she encountered.
"One of Maud's New Year's Resolutions in 2014 was to volunteer with ElderNet, and she was so personally rewarded by helping someone in need while also taking the worry of coordinating doctors' appointments, shopping and meals off of their family and friends," said Brian Tierney, Maud's husband and CEO of Brian Communications. "My family and I are incredibly proud to establish the Maud Campbell Tierney Endowment Fund and Volunteer of the Year Awards in her honor, and we celebrate the men and women who, like Maud, focus their time and resources to giving back and helping others."
This year's ElderNet Volunteer of the Year Award winners are:
- Andy Uhr, Driving Escort Award
- Robbie Shell, Companionship Award
- Clare Schoepp, Shopping Award
- Judy Leedy, Pantry Award
- Lynn Saligman, Extraordinary Effort Award
"We are deeply appreciative of all of our volunteers' efforts as well as the Tierney family's incredible support, and we extend a special thanks and congratulations to Andy, Robbie, Clare, Judy and Lynn for their exceptional work," said Brandon Trombetta, Executive Director of ElderNet.
