March 20, 2003 was proclaimed to be Clearwater Community Volunteers Day by Clearwater Mayor Brian Aungst.

Dear Joanie,

I wanted to take this opportunity to thank you personally on behalf of the City of Clearwater for the thousands of volunteer hours that the Clearwater Community Volunteers, formerly known as Clearwater Community Volunteers contribute to making the city a better place.

Whether it’s helping to clean up downtown, decorating the city for the holidays, helping out on the Main Street events or producing your own events such as the Easter Egg Hunt in Coachman Park or the magnificent Winter Wonderland — your volunteers have demonstrated a civic and social responsibility that is not often seen.

The City of Clearwater will only flourish to the degree that community members such as Clearwater Community Volunteers are willing participants.

It has been my sincere pleasure to work with you over the years.

Best wishes,
Brian Aungst, Mayor
