Dublin Volunteers Recognized by YMCA of the East Bay

Three of Dublin's residents were recently recognized for their hours of volunteerism.

Kenny Collings and Mike and Teri Bunnell were presented the "You are the Difference" award by the YMCA of the East Bay at the organization's 134th Annual Meeting & Volunteer Recognition Awards Ceremony on Oct. 16.

For the last three summers, Collings has participated in the CILT program at Tri-Valley. He has planned activities for campers, eats with them and helps them with their activities.

"He always asks what more he can do to make camp a better place," the program for the event said. "More than that, he has an amazing attitude. Even if he is cleaning up glitter and feathers, he has a smile on his face."

The Bunnells have also volunteered at the YMCA for the past three years.

Mike Bunnell has been an advisor for Tri-Valley’s Youth & Government delegation and attended conference trips, helping set up chairs, ran errands and made sure the kids are safe and happy. 

Teri Bunnell has helped with nearly every Tri-Valley special event and fundraiser. Bunnell helped bring in items for the rummage sale fundraiser and set up and worked the Breakfast with Santa event. 

"Both Teri and Mike go above and beyond to fundraise and support the programs of the Tri-Valley YMCA" the release said. "Not enough can be said about their unwavering dedication and support!"
