HIGHLIGHTS...

Marie Duval, French volunteer from Au Pair in America.

Marie is absolutely without a doubt the grrrreatest kid on the planet! She has truly been a great all around volunteer and a stellar representation of how valuable our Au Pair Volunteers are to Spring Hill's Operations. She is a brilliant kid, fluent in English with her Master's degree in International affairs.

Marie's year stay here is up and she is leaving to go home. She wanted to go to an American baseball game before she left and being the die-hard Yankees fan that I am, I took her to a Yankees game on Tuesday and we had the best time as the photo reflects from outside where we ate dinner in Little Italy.

Marie will be SoOoOoO missed; I can't begin to tell you how our staff will miss her weekly presence at Spring Hill. She does it all...from helping to keeping all the machines in the Fitness Room clean, to sanitizing all the equipment in the Dance Studio & Wellness Studio, organizing the lost & found, cleaning out all the lockers in the ladies locker room, collecting the quarters each week from the Ladies Room lockers, transformed the pool deck stainless steel by working to remove the normal rust and mineral deposits that build up over time, helping with so many aspects of landscaping around the grounds and beyond.

Marie is a genuine Rock Star Volunteer and we feel so incredibly blessed to have this wonderful partnership with our Au Pair agencies that refer their incredible staff to volunteer at our RECenter.

Marie has been the total package that showcases how volunteers truly Power our Parks.

VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

John Flippin
Spring Hill RECenter’s
2011 Outstanding Volunteer
of the Year

Just an All-Around Rock Star human being and helping hand around the entire RECenter
Outgoing and fun loving guy that infuses positive energy into any project he works on
Honestly, one of the most dependable, responsible and hardworking members of our staff
Nothing is out of his realm of capabilities of contribution …day in, day out

During Spring Hill's three months of shut-down construction, (Aug-Oct) John was among the volunteers that continued to volunteer and assist in transforming our park grounds. John ascended into the lead project coordinator's role and truly helped to transform 22yrs of unkempt jungle behind our pool patio into a manicured outdoor oasis.

John has always stepped up to assist with any special event we've hosted or helped to assist sister parks such as Lake Accotink's Cardboard Boat Regatta.

John is simply irreplaceable. By title, John is a Front Desk Volunteer. However, like the bulk of our paid staff, John's contributions extend far beyond the reach of any one title. John not only assists customers and staff in a plethora of ways at the Front Desk, but he has helped to create a warm, bright and inviting botanical welcome for all visitors of Spring Hill that truly contributes to our reputation of "community." John is truly one of a kind and an absolute Rock Star volunteer in our ensemble Spring Hill cast.
