Volunteers Honored By the
Monmouth County Park System
40 APRIL 2020 | TheJournalNJ.com
On Sunday, March 1, the Monmouth County Park System thanked the
dedicated team of volunteers during its annual Volunteer Recognition
Ceremony at Hominy Hill Golf Course in Colts Neck. The event
honored 119 volunteers who each gave 40 or more hours in 2019 as well
as 57 volunteers who gave more than 100 hours.
The Park System also recognized volunteers who hit lifetime milestones
in their service. Barbara Carroll, Barbara Duggan, Mandy Hintlemann,
Catherine Merker, Richie Merker, Frank No and Betty Randall each
donated 1,000 hours of their time while Loma Gault reached the 2,000-
hour milestone, and Jim Gault reached 3,000 hours. Gerry Lingner celebrated
crossing the 4,000-hour mark.
Every day, volunteers can be found throughout the county parks
lending a hand where needed. Volunteers help with programs, act as
historic interpreters and assist with trail maintenance. Docents welcome
visitors and share information about exhibits, programs and facilities.
And they are an essential part of the park system’s therapeutic riding programs.
Many special events and races such as the Wind & Sea Festival,
Thompson Park Day and the E. Murray Todd Half Marathon depend on
volunteers to run smoothly. The park system is grateful to each and every
one of its volunteers for their service.
