Volunteer of the Year awards
A new star honoring the City of Ontario outstanding volunteer will be added to Ontario's "Walk of Fame" during the 18th annual ceremony tomorrow, at 2 p.m.
All of the nominees will be recognized and the recipient of this year's "Walk of Fame" award will be announced.
This year's nominees are:
William "Bill" Johnson - Ontario Police Reserve Officer
Judy Jasper - Ontario Police Department Volunteer
Mary Shoults - Ontario City Library
Jim Zarek - Ontario Police Department Volunteer
This year's event will be a little different from past years as the bronze star, which recognizes the nominee, has a new location. Prior to city hall's renovation, the stars were placed on the floor space near Ontario Senior Center.
Now that permeable pavers have been placed in the area between City Hall and Ontario Senior Center, the Walk of Fame has a new home. It will be located on a wall between the two city buildings.
The Ontario City Council and the Ontario Police Department implemented the Ontario "Volunteer Walk of Fame" in 1994. The ceremony honors outstanding city government volunteers who are nominated by their department head, a volunteer coordinator or another city employee. The event is open to the public.
Ontario Senior Center is located at 225 East "B" Street.
