The 10th Annual Volunteer Appreciation was held Saturday April 9. Over 240 guests enjoyed a red carpet night, with a delicious dinner catered by Margarita’s Restaurant. The convention center was decorated with an Oscar theme. From the walk of fame on the floor to the mini Oscars and sunglasses on the tables for each attendee the message was clear. Our volunteers are the stars of this community! White Pine County Tourism & Recreation would like to thank Bath Lumber, Cruise In, Ghost Riders, Helping Hands, Leioloni Kammerer, Margarita’s, Ridley’s Family Market, R.M.E.F., Ely Rotary Club, Sportsworld and This & That for their raffle prize donations. We would also like to thank Mt. Wheeler Power and Wilson Bates Furniture for their donation of our grand prize. Without the help of these organizations, Ely would not be able to offer all the great activities, events and programs available that make this a such a great place to live and visit.
