A huge thank you to all those that came out and celebrated
the wonderful Mission Peak District Volunteer Appreciation Dinner! It was a lovely night of laughs, smiles and loud round of applauses for our incredible volunteers. The highlight of the evening was definitely awarding the DISTRICT AWARD OF MERIT to Meena Mariwalla and Katherine Brovont!
These two ladies have given so much to our scouting program here in the Mission Peak training from organizing special events, to putting together special training and always being there to help anyone and everyone that needs here. They have always been an email or a text message away and it was a pleasure to see their big faces of surprise when they were chosen for our big award this year!
So many other people were awarded that night from DISTRICT CERTIFICATES OF APPRECIATION for Tim Christman, Sreevathsa Doddabalapur, Ankita Garg, Ankur Garg, Chrys Grace, Rebecca Grant, Mike James, Ameet Kapadia, Sara Karrick-Hewitt, Nishanth Manjunath, Randy Miranda, Vasudeo Nandagiri, Vanessa Oshiro, Naveen Patlola, Marissa Shaw, Mehmood Tily, Bharath Venkatesan, Louisa Wong, Heather Zeng.
We also awarded the DISTRICT PLAQUE AWARD to Jonathan Leder, Abhijit Saha, Vanjikumaran Sivajothy, Christine Valerie Watnik, Timothy Wong, Melanie Young.
These individuals have campaigned over the last couple of years to offer the very best for our scouts and we really appreciate what these individuals have done for the future generations of Eagle Scouts.
We also had two very special awards to Antoniette Schlobohm and Christine Watnik for their special service awards they received that night as well.
A huge thank you to the Southern Alameda County Buddhist Church for hosting the event and Chef Charlie Mabie and his cooking team for making an amazing Mediterranean cuisine for the evening.
