Volunteer of the Year AwardsTeller Volunteer of the Year 2008- Dick & Judy Estler 
Congratulations to Dick and Judy Estler! These two dedicated and energetic volunteers have been involved with The Teller for over four years. Not only do they help with various projects throughout the year, but they have led the TnT Committee for the past 3 years. The Estlers have devoted a combined total of 1,102 hours to the TnT Dinner & Auction, saving The Teller almost $15,000 in administrative costs on the TnT alone. The pair is an invaluable resource to Teller and our mission! Teller Volunteer of the Year 2007- JoAnne and Cliff Gibbons 
The Teller is thrilled to present the 2007 Volunteer of the Year Award to a very special couple....JoAnne and Cliff Gibbons. Together, JoAnne and Cliff make an outstanding combined contribution to The Teller. Their names can be seen under almost every volunteer project listed in 2007. Their individual and combined efforts cover all the bases, including conservation projects, Earth Day and TnT events, facilities maintenance, volunteer program support, displays, outreach, and office assistance. JoAnne and Cliff have become familiar faces at The Teller. We are always happy to see them and grateful for their continued and enthusiastic dedication to The Teller mission .....more Teller Volunteer of the Year 2006—Chuck Burrier
Teller was thrilled to award Chuck Burrier the “Teller Volunteer of the Year 2006 Award” during our Earth Day Celebration in April 2007.
Chuck has been a dedicated volunteer at the Teller since 2003. In those four years, Chuck has contributed hundreds of volunteer hours in the Teller garden, on conservation projects, assisting with events, and with facilities and repairs. Chuck comes equipped with infinite energy, knowledge, skills, upbeat generosity, and tools to boot. Chuck’s beaming smile has become a familiar part of the Teller, one we gratefully greet on a regular basis.
While Chuck’s contribution of time, energy, and good humor is an incredible gift to the Teller, the real treasure is to get to know him, to work side by side with him, and to experience his generosity, cheer, and wisdom. Over these four years, Chuck has never faltered from being dependable and hard working, always with an enthusiastic smile and twinkle in his eye.
Please help us thank and congratulate Chuck Burrier--Teller Volunteer of the Year 2006!
