Heather Frost, Councilwoman for District 4, nominated our long-time Library volunteer Nancy Burgess-Hall, for a special act of recognition honoring her lifetime of community service in spite of a debilitating and painful condition, rheumatoid arthritis, which kept her in a wheelchair. Pasted (below) is a photo of the plaque received by her husband, Doug Hall (DBS & Library retiree, also a long-time Library volunteer and community activist). (Attached is a transcription of the plaque in accessible Word format.) Representatives were present from the Rehab Center and several of Nancy’s advocacy groups were also in attendance.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Nancy’s numerous community activities and advocacy accomplishments are mentioned on the plaque, which is legible. Regarding the Library, she was a patron herself, since she was not able to hold or manipulate printed matter. She became a volunteer in September, 1999, helping with clerical tasks until August of 2007, when she joined the Board of Directors of the Friends of Library Access, Inc. and remained active until her death in April of this year. That comes to over 22 years of steadfast support for the Library and its volunteers. She and Doug never missed a Library event or party!<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><img width=640 height=480 style='width:6.6666in;height:5.0in' id="Picture_x0020_1" src="cid:image001.jpg@01D8C200.6CDF6D40"></span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Volusia County Council Chambers, with some council members barely visible in the background. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Overhead screen reads: <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>“Proclamation to be presented inside county council chambers<o:p></o:p></span></p><ul style='margin-top:0in' type=disc><li class=MsoNormal style='mso-list:l0 level1 lfo3'><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Nancy Burgess-Hall day – September 6, 2022”<o:p></o:p></span></li></ul><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><img width=592 height=480 style='width:6.1666in;height:5.0in' id="Picture_x0020_2" src="cid:image002.jpg@01D8C200.6CDF6D40"></span><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Heather Frost, Councilwoman for District 4, presents plaque to Doug Hall, Nancy’s husband. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:14.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif'>Doug’s service dog Mr. Watson supervises.
