The Call to Service Award is reserved for volunteers with over 4,000 hours of community service.
Recipients receive a President’s Call to Service pin, a certificate from the President’s Council on Service and Civic Participation and a letter from President Obama.
This years President’s Lifetime Service Award winners from The South County Senior Center in Edmonds are: Elsie Krueger, Mary Ann Malchow, Helen Miller and Evangeline Mitchell.
