PRESIDENT'S VOLUNTEER SERVICE AWARD for Community Service After Hurricane Katrina

Bob received the President's Call to Service Award in June, 2006 in recognition of his commitment to civic participation in the New Orleans cleanup and restoration effort. Each year the President's Council on Service and Civic Participation and USA Freedom Corp consider nominees who have contributed at least 4,000 volunteer hours over the course of their lives, at home or abroad, in service of humanity.

Bob has shown leadership through his personal Volunteerism, by inspiring other Commissioners and community members to get involved in helping restore a neighboring Gulf Coast area devastated by natural disaster, and by participating in Restoration 2006 and other programs that help local leaders prepare for future events in our community.

Jeri Bush, Director of VolunteerLeon, presented Bob with the Award and a framed letter from the President of the United States at the Board of County Commissioner's regular meeting on July 11, 2006.
