BWC announces award winners

BONSALL – The Bonsall Woman’s Club March meeting introduced the Volunteer of the Year award and announced the winners in the Palomar Art Festival.

This year’s Volunteer of the Year, Bev York has heart and so much more, giving over 240 volunteer hours in 2018.

York joined the Bonsall Woman’s Club in 2011 and began serving as third vice president of programs. In subsequent years, she served as first vice president and dean of chairmen and as the club’s parliamentarian. She accepted when the Palomar District, which is part of the California and General Federation of Women’s Clubs, asked for her help to serve on their board.

York is currently serving as the district’s first vice president and dean of chairmen. Helping is in her nature, her fellow club members said, and she can be found quietly working in the background to make sure the job gets done in any area where she has an expertise. The results of her club involvement was described as “quality work from a quality lady.”

When York’s announcement was made to the general membership, she received a standing ovation.

To cap off the meeting, the Bonsall Woman’s Club members who won awards at the Palomar Art Festival were announced.
