Camaraderie, cooperation and spirit were on display at Frying Pan Farm Park on Tuesday, October 22, as Providence RECenter’s contingent took first place in the Park Authority’s Farm Olympics. This team-building and morale-boosting event pits representatives from the agency’s park sites, field offices and headquarters sections against each other in pursuit of the coveted Corn Gold.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Charlie Hummel
Providence RECenter’s
2011 Outstanding Volunteer
of the Year

Charlie is an outstanding volunteer because he is ALWAYS willing to go above and beyond when we need him. He is incredibly flexible with his schedule and comes in whenever needed. He always volunteers to go the extra mile to help make the RECenter run more smoothly.

Charlie has a fantastic personality. He volunteers at the Front Desk and is always very friendly when greeting the patrons. He also volunteers in the Fitness Room and helps maintain a very clean yet pleasant atmosphere. Above and beyond all of these duties, he is always at our beck and call when we have a special need for a volunteer. Charlie helped us tremendously at our annual Craft Show and always works the first day of classes when the front desk is very busy.

Charlie is an incredible asset to the Volunteer Program at Providence due to his dedication and strong work ethic. He has made many friends and enjoys associating with the patrons. Thank you Charlie for always being there for us! Congratulations!

Here is a bio from Charlie:

A native of New Jersey (you gotta problem with that!?), I moved to Virginia in 1980. For the past 22 years my family (wife / daughter / son) has taken advantage of many of the activities available through the Fairfax County Parks and Recreation system. Since retiring from the Federal Government, I have done volunteer work for a number of organizations including Meals on Wheels, the Boy Scouts, Knights of Columbus and the Fairfax Foster Child program. My original reason for volunteering at Providence was the use of the facility but I have found that I enjoy my time meeting and working with the staff and members more than the sit-ups and pumping iron.
