GOOD TO DO & KNOW!

Hampton City Council’s Spotlight on Volunteers Featured Hampton Clean City Commission Long-Time Volunteers! Eight long-time volunteers whose combined service to the City of Hampton through the Hampton Clean City Commission exceeds 160 years and 80,000 hours were recognized at the April 25^th Spotlight on Volunteers. Shirley Boyd, Woody Holder, John Moyer, Jamie Osso, Pat Parker, Loye Spencer, Marty Tennille, and Jim Williams were honored for their dedication to keeping Hampton clean and green. Their activities ranged from cleanups (naturally) to YARDS judging to school education programs to committee work and beyond. These volunteers and others who have devoted much time, effort, and dedication to our city have made our local environment better.
