Volunteers of the Quarter
Each quarter, StandUp For Kids of Orlando volunteers and directors will nominate a fellow volunteer for special recognition due to their extraordinary efforts.  Based on the testimonies, the executive directors will select a volunteer for the ‘Volunteer of the Quarter’ award.  This award will recognize the selected candidate’s achievements and dedication to StandUp For Kids of Orlando.  The award includes a certificate of appreciation, recognition in our newsletter, and a small gift.

Due to popular demand, we have TWO outstanding volunteers for the award this quarter.  Both volunteers started working with SUFK of Orlando since its inception in 2005, and have been instrumental in the development of the program. 

StandUp For Kids of Orlando is pleased to announce that Catherine Majorossy and Mirella Del Pino as the Volunteers of the Quarter (Jan-Mar 2006)!!!  Catherine is the Director of Volunteers for Orlando, and has been extremely reliable in communications with all current and prospective volunteers.  Furthermore, she has the most experience with SUFK coming from another chapter; thus, she has helped the executive leadership team through many obstacles.   Mirella is our only high school student volunteer, but don’t let her age fool you, this young lady has been a GREAT asset to SUFK!  She has collected more than $600 in donations, and was able to get her high school involved with helping.  Mirella has helped with fundraising, awareness and prevention!

Congratulations to both Catherine and Mirella!  Thank you for all of your hardwork and dedication!  See below for their introductions.

Catherine Majorossy, Director of Volunteers
Hi my name is Catherine.  I am currently a senior at the University of Central Florida.  On May 5th, I will graduate with my Bachelor of Science degree in Psychology.  I am in the process of the application game for graduate school, so I can earn a Master’s degree in Clinical Psychology.  I have been a steady volunteer with StandUp For Kids for almost a year.  I love to bargain shop, go to the beach, and spend time with my amazing family, boyfriend, and friends.  My main goal in life is to help as many people as I possibly can.
