Stacie Anfinson
Stacie Anfinson has provided musical training as
a volunteer at Laguna Elementary School for 12 years.
She also serves as holiday and spring concerts director.
As a professional musician, she has utilized her
talents to teach young people classical music in
addition to her concert and recital volunteerism.
It is certainly not uncommon for a teen or young
adult to come up to her at a mall, movie, or restaurant
and say “remember me” and give Stacie
a heartfelt "thanks.” |

Dr. John Bruhn
Through his volunteerism at Hospice, Dr. John Bruhn
sets a standard for recognizing the value and integrity
of the elderly. He is an excellent role model, encouraging
others to respect and assist the elderly and to
develop ways to include them as valuable members
of the community. He treats each person as a special
individual who has much “wisdom” to
give others. Dr. Bruhn volunteers many hours treating
each elderly person he cares for in a respectful,
compassionate, and humane manner. |

Linda Eales
Linda Eales recommended a partnership between the
city’s Citizen and Neighborhood Resources Department
and the Green Buildings Advisory Board. Through
this partnership, a first of its kind “Scottsdale
Design Day” was created to assist residents
in the mature areas of Scottsdale to develop plans
for upgrading their homes. Linda volunteered countless
hours coordinating design professionals and vendors
to attend the events. The two events drew over 275
participants plus design professionals and vendors.
At each event, residents walked away with designs
they could implement. |

Laverne and Bob Lindley saved the Scottsdale Brown
Bag Program, an important food assistance program

when the former coordinator retired for health reasons.
Laverne and Bob kept the group of volunteers together

groceries to those in need. At least 120 community

fruits, vegetables, canned goods, and perishables
every week. |
