VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT

Thomas "Gug" Gugliuzza-Smith
South Run RECenter’s
2011 Outstanding Volunteer
of the Year

Through his unsolicited and enthusiastic efforts to improve the appearance of our park, Gug has made himself stand out as one of South Run RECenter's premier volunteers.

The day he became a landscape volunteer, Gug "owned" the outside areas of South Run. Since the building entrance is the first taste our customers get of South Run's unique atmosphere and outstanding facilities, his beautification efforts really began a significant and needed transformation. Rather than write off the poor condition of our gardens, Gug created a small flower bed around the new wing of our building and also planted flowers and bushes from his own garden at the RECenter entrance. The improved appearance has provided beautiful and relaxing views for our customers enjoyment while working out.

Gug does not limit himself to landscape. He saw a need for parking lot clean-up and tackled that task as well. He actively supervises our other Landscape volunteers, civics students when available and even people ordered by the court to do community service. He has assumed the mantle of Head Landscape Volunteer and wears it well.

Gug exemplifies friendly helpfulness in all his dealings with other volunteers and staff. His dependability, enthusiasm and follow up are infectious and have done much to influence new customers to join and old ones to keep coming back.
