VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

John Hopkins
Oak Marr RECenter’s
2011 Outstanding Volunteer
of the Year

When retirement claimed John in July 2010, the Fairfax County Park Authority was blessed with one of its most dedicated volunteers. His list of accomplishments still keeps him anchored at Nottoway Park with his work with Friends of Nottoway and beating back the invasive plants such as amber birch that keep creeping onto the ground.

John was drawn back to Frying Pan Park and functions as a wagon driver and interpreter sharing all the minute details about the farm and its environs.

Fortunately for Oak Marr, John has dedicated early Wednesday mornings as Farmers' Market Volunteer. Every vendor and market master has commented on his outstanding efforts at setting up the whole place - placing signs and tents, directing trucks and people and, most importantly, providing a new and colorful balloon to announce the market day as it waves on Jermantown Rd. Every single person that has been involved with organizing the Oak Marr Farmers' Market has commented on John's enormous commitment and contribution. Everyone believes it can't be done without him.

Congratulations on your continued dedication to the FCPA. You transitioned from Employee to volunteer seamlessly and the Parks are the BIG WINNER.
