The Volunteer Coordinating Committee of Keizer has made a significant decision to recognize two outstanding individuals as Volunteers of the Quarter during their recent meeting on May 26, 2025. This marks a notable moment for the committee, as it is uncommon to honor multiple volunteers simultaneously, but both nominees were deemed equally deserving of the recognition.

During the meeting, committee members discussed the nominations and expressed their appreciation for the contributions of both candidates. While there was some hesitation about the precedent of awarding two volunteers at once, it was confirmed that previous instances occurred when nominees collaborated on the same project. Ultimately, the committee decided to forward both nominations to the city council for approval, highlighting the importance of acknowledging exceptional volunteer efforts within the community.

In addition to the volunteer recognition, the committee approved the minutes from their last meeting, which had been delayed due to scheduling issues. The approval process was straightforward, with no public testimony presented during the meeting.

This decision to honor two volunteers reflects the committee's commitment to recognizing the hard work and dedication of individuals who contribute to the community. As the nominations move forward to the city council, the committee looks forward to celebrating the achievements of these volunteers and inspiring others to engage in community service.
