The President has made this Award available to citizens to enable them to be recognized and acknowledged for their service in the commu- nity for the year 2013. Volunteerism is a good indicator of that community's health. It is usually done from the heart by those who care about a cause or belief that they feel strongly about. At this time of the year with hundreds of our fellow Quartzsite friends, guests and citizens, involved locally in causes and interests, it is nice to recognize some of our younger members, who will hopefully have a long and fruitful life committed to volunteerism. These three young men have committed themselves to the principles of Scout- ing, that of being of service to local nonprofi t organizations dealing with various issues and causes and faiths.
