SOPAC

The South Orange Performing Arts Center honored its 50-person team of volunteers with a tropical-themed party and awards ceremony. At the ceremony, volunteers were presented with awards in several categories including Life Savers, Above and Beyond, Shining Star, 5+ Years, and more. The Veteran of the Year award went to Sandra Dickerson. “Volunteering has been one of the highlights of my retirement,” said Dickerson. Rookie of the Year was presented to Sharon Ginn. “What I love about volunteering is giving back to the community and being with an organization that provides quality care.” Nancy Frazier, who volunteered 169 hours during the 2021-2022 season, was named Volunteer of the Year. “I love SOPAC, I love the staff, I love the people, I love being here—I love volunteering. I’m honored.” In February, Luminello launched a volunteer of the month initiative to recognize a standout SOPAC volunteer. Honorees include: Nancy Frazier (February), Sandra Dickerson (March), Sharon Ginn (April), Tara Hobbs (May) and Linda Forsyth (June). “Most of our patrons don’t realize how many volunteers we have,” said SOPAC Board Chair Douglas Newman. “It’s the superpower of SOPAC. You should be proud because what you’re doing is very special.”
