UBS President Lezlie Reel Receives the Governor's Award
 Lezlie
Reel received the Governor's Volunteer Award from Governor Chester
Culver. The Governor's volunteer Award program was established
to honor and recognize volunteers for the commitment, service and
time that they contribute to Iowa's government agencies and
nonprofit organizations.. Lezlie Reel, who is Chairman of the
Union Betterment Association, was nominated for the 2008
Governor's Volunteer Award by the City of Union because she is a
true example of what makes a volunteer by helping wherever she is
asked, whether it's Santa's visit, Spring Clean-up and because of
the endless hours of planning and physical work that she has done to
make the city's Tar Heel Festival a success for over eight years. |
