<p class="MsoNormal">I am excited to tell all that Gary Van Dorn will be honored with the Minoru Yasui Community Volunteer Award on Thursday, August 17, at 10:00 a.m., outside, on the 16th Street Mall, at 16th and Welton. Please try to come and share in the
event. <span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:windowtext">
<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The ceremony will last about 30 minutes and will include a brief history of the award and Min Yasui's life. Gary will be presented with a plaque, a proclamation from the Mayor, and a check for $2000, which he has chosen to give to the
National Federation of the Blind of Colorado to be used to preserve the NFBC's archives.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Mission of the Award is to honor outstanding volunteers who have received little or no recognition for their efforts on behalf of the community. Please feel free to invite any friends, staff, or family who would like to honor Gary
on his special day.<o:p></o:p></p>
