She stands out because of her enthusiastic support of the Fairfax County Park Authority goals and her tireless devotion to the needs of our customers. As a front desk volunteer, Marie is the first taste our customers get of South Run's unique family atmosphere and outstanding facilities. She exemplifies friendly helpfulness in all her dealings with customers and staff. Her extensive knowledge of the RECenter's operations has enabled her to significantly add to customer satisfaction with the South Run experience. Hallmarks of her volunteer efforts are dependability, enthusiasm and follow-up. Marie has given many prospective customers a tour of our facilities and persuaded a lot of them to take advantage of our pass sales. She has done much to influence new customers to join and old ones to keep coming back. When there is not much business at the front desk, Marie ensures the entrance, desk and foyer areas are neat and clean. She constantly seeks ways she can use spare moments to help the staff with anything that needs to be done. These include filing, making copies, assembling handouts and welcome packets, and preparing class passes. Even when she is just visiting South Run for a workout, she takes a break to help out when needed. Marie's extra efforts to learn as much as possible about our operation have made her much more effective in handling things that many other volunteers must refer to staff. She has frequently stayed late when we were short-staffed or had a high volume of new patrons. Having volunteered 1100 hours in the last 5 1/2 years, highlights her conscientiousness and adds to her unique contributions and makes Marie Butcher truly deserving of this recognition.
