(KNZA)--The Morrill Public Library, in Hiawatha, Quilters Club received a “Super Volunteer” Award at the Northeast Kansas Library System’s annual Assembly August 10 in Lawrence.
According to a press release, the Quilters were nominated for the honor by the Library staff and trustees in recognition of the work Club members did making quilts for 2017 Brown County Relay for Life.
The nomination read, “Although it may seem unusual to nominate a group for this award, it was clear from the start the Quilters were acting as one on the project. Everyone in the group contributed. They shared in the work and the joy, not as individuals, but as friends with a united purpose. Most touching to us, as Library staff and trustees, was the way the group were always saying they were the Library Quilters Club. We were able to share in all of the goodwill they created in our community, and for that we cannot thank them enough.”
Attending Assembly to receive the award were Quilters Club representatives Sarah Bauer, Carol Boggs, Janet Irwin, Shirley Hargis, Barbara Lemons, Kathleen Twombly, and Sharon Waser, and Library representatives Kelly Meyer, Carol Speidel, and Karen Searight.
The group received a certificate, volunteer pins, and a cash award for the Library.
During the business meeting, Joanne Noll from Hiawatha was selected to be the Brown County representative to the NEKLS Executive Board.
