Podcast: Meet Our 2011 Community Service Award Recipients

Each year at our Annual Meeting, we present United Way's highest volunteer honor – the Community Service Award – to an individual or individuals who have improved lives and changed community conditions through outstanding volunteer service. This year’s award recipients, Dr. Sedrick and Mrs. Alyce Rawlins, were selected unanimously for more than 50 years of outstanding service in the areas of civil rights, access to health care, children’s school success and the arts.
 

Tune in Saturday for Community Connections!

Community Service Award recipients Dr. Sedrick and Mrs. Alyce Rawlins will discuss their 50+ years of service, the changes they've seen in their community, and their hopes and dreams for the future of Greater Hartford.
