Resolution recognizes Volunteer of the Year
Crabtree
XENIA In addition to being a recent graduate of Wright State University with an undergraduate degree in social work, Amanda Crabtree can add another achievement to her list of personal accomplishments.
Crabtree was named the Greene County Visitation Center “Volunteer of the Year” a few weeks ago. At a recent Greene County Commissioners meeting, she was honored with a resolution signed by the commissioners.
“I was very excited,” Crabtree said. “I had only heard a little murmur of the idea that workers at the center may choose a volunteer of the year but heard nothing else about it. So when I found out via a meeting, I was shocked and surprised. I am so thankful as well to my amazing co-workers who thought of me. I felt truly appreciated.”
