Schaumburg Park District honors volunteers

The Schaumburg Park District honored some of its most dedicated volunteers at its annual “Gleeful Thanks!” reception Thursday.

The district honored the husband and wife team of Marla and Domenick Geraci as recreation volunteers of the year. The always smiling duo aids the cultural arts department in set design, concessions, transportation, rehearsals and performances.

Spring Valley Nature Center named Chuck Henry, an animal caretaker at Volkening Heritage Farm, its volunteer of the year for the nearly 1,100 hours he has put in since 2007.

The honors were handed out last week at a reception featuring a performance by the Hoffman Estates High School Chamber Orchestra.
