Alice Walters of Jefferson has been chosen as the recipient of the Greene County Community Impact Award.
Walters will be honored Sunday, May 3, at 4 pm in the Greene County courthouse rotunda with public award ceremony followed by a reception*. All friends and family are invited to attend.
The award was established to recognize an individual or individuals whose activities have an easily recognized impact upon Greene County residents. This is the sixth year the award will be presented. The award was created in 2010 and those honored include Lawrence Geisler, the Town and Country Band, Carson Griffith, Vickie and Tim Robbins, and Doug Hawn.
Jerry Roberts of Jefferson, a spokesperson for the Impact Award committee, said, “Alice has had an impact in Greene County for many decades, and it is only fitting that she has been selected for the award this year. She has a long history with Greene County Extension and 4-H, her church, the local school system where she still volunteers in a kindergarten classroom each day, and philanthropic projects in Greene County. It is time to honor Alice for her tireless efforts.”
Walters’ nomination stated, “Alice is a volunteer who unselfishly contributes her time, talent, and resources fully for the benefit of others. Though her efforts are difficult to quantify, the impact is priceless.”
*Please note the time of 4 pm. This is a change from the previous years. It has been moved to allow residents an opportunity to attend a Historical Society program at the museum which has been rescheduled to an earlier time to avoid a conflict.
