HIGHLIGHTS...

Help Others Skate through Life

Adapted Ice Skating, introduced at Mt. Vernon RECenter in the fall 2008 class session, is going strong. Wait lists attest to its popularity, and more classes could be added if only there were more volunteers. If you can help, call 703-768-3224, x 206 for information. You don’t have to be an expert skater but you do need to be comfortable on the ice and have basic skating skills.

Variety is the Spice of Life

Mt. Vernon has launched a new class that gives discriminating preschoolers the chance to sample a host of varied opportunities for fun. Variety Zone will rotate weekly through established favorites, like Preschool Picassos, Magic Kitchen and Adventures in Gardening. Judging from the early response, Variety Zone promises to be the RECenter’s most popular program.

Join the volunteer team at your neighborhood RECenter and get the insider’s edge on the latest developments!

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Brenda Reed
Mt. Vernon RECenter’s
2011 Outstanding Volunteer
of the Year

Brenda exemplifies the word reliable. She is someone to treasure in her dedication to helping out at the front desk on Saturday morning, our busiest time weekly. She is very knowledgeable about the RECenter and what we have to offer. Brenda also helps with class registration and wrists band verification of skaters who are skating a public session. Brenda helps wherever she is needed. Managers and staff alike think Brenda is awesome.

Brenda is comfortable enforcing a rule which is something not many volunteers relish. She understands the reason why it is important and is able to help convey that to customers. Check in on Saturdays has improved significantly since Brenda has joined us. She has educated customers on the importance of having their scan card out to help speed up the check in process.

It's a pleasure to have Brenda at Mount Vernon, She provides a very high level of customer service by taking the time to address each customer's needs with the goal of meeting or exceeding those needs. She gives 110% effort to all tasks she undertakes. Brenda loves being here and it shows.
