Volunteer of the Year
Each of our volunteer recreation councils has nominated a “Volunteer of the Year” for 2022. Below, click on each volunteer to learn about each Volunteer of the Year and read about their many contributions. We, along with their recreation councils, thank them for their many contributions and accomplishments. To the award winners: what you have done is truly special and made an impact on your community. While you are one from your council, we know you are among many and we recognize and honor your accomplishments and by association, those who serve alongside you.
In addition, 2022 marks the sixth year of inductees in the Carroll County Recreation and Parks Volunteer Hall of Fame. To be considered for this honor, volunteers must have served at least twenty (20) years and made significant contributions resulting in a lasting impact over time. This year’s class includes Bob & Peggy Miller and James & Betty Huber. These folks are the best of the best and hold a special place in our history and hearts. Congratulations to these great volunteers who have helped shape and contribute to our department’s success for many years.
Congratulations to our 2022 Volunteers of the Year and our Volunteer Hall of Fame Inductees!

James and Betty HuberDuring its early years, the Department of Recreation and Parks initiated the creation of recreation councils that served small geographic communities. Many of these councils started as “mom and pop” organizations and gradually grew along with the community around them. The Pleasant Valley Recreation Council was a great example of how small groups could gather like-minded individuals to provide recreational activities to their neighbors, even without the significant development occurring in other communities. The community of Pleasant Valley doesn’t have a school so activities would be held for the most part at people’s homes or at the St. Matthews United Church of Christ in the community. For most of their volunteer service time, Betty served as President and coordinator of recreational activities with Jim serving on the council as well. Jim also served a term on the Recreation and Parks Advisory Board from 2003 – 2005. Jim and Betty worked tirelessly throughout their years of involvement to ensure the community of Pleasant Valley always had activities to look forward to, preserving the charm and fellowship that the community is known for. |
