Volunteer Recognition Program
Meet Sheri Adams-Selinger & Chris Selinger, Volunteer Recognition recipients for the Fall of 2024!
The next nomination deadline is April 15, 2025
This program is targeted at community volunteers who have volunteered with several initiatives over an extended period of time and have made a meaningful impact on their community. The purpose of the program is to demonstrate the importance and value that volunteers provide in the areas of sport, culture and recreation through public recognition.
The program features two nomination deadline dates annually: April 15 and September 15. There will be one award recipient for each nomination deadline. The award recipients will receive a grant of $1000, to be utilized in the area of that person’s volunteering efforts (within sport, culture and recreation) while following the guidelines (ex: An individual who has been volunteering on a community Arts Council receives the award and uses the grant funds for an initiative such as art classes for seniors.)
If you are interested in nominating a volunteer in your community, the nomination form and guidelines can be found below. Please read through the guidelines prior to filling out the nomination form.

Meet Darnell Weiman, Volunteer Recognition recipient for the Spring of 2024! 
On Saturday, June 8, 2024, in front of his hometown crowd and ball team, Darnell Weiman of Bruno was recognized by the Prairie Central District as an outstanding volunteer. Darnell is the owner of a busy garage in Bruno, and has demonstrated unwavering dedication to the sport, recreational and safety of the community. Under his leadership, the golf course has seen many improvements, and the club membership has been revitalized. Youth sports have flourished from Darnell’s enthusiasm, positive demeanor and athleticism, ranging from archery, baseball to broomball and karate. He is a coach, manager, and dedicated leader, who pours his heart and soul into every volunteer opportunity. In his free time, he is also on the volunteer fire department, Co-op board and is an active member of the Bruno Wildlife Club. It was my pleasure to meet and recognize Darnell and to witness the respect he has in the community, a true testament to his character. 
Nominator Corrinne Arnold wrote: “Darnell is the ideal candidate for the Prairie Central District Volunteer Recognition award. His efforts have revived the Bruno Golf Course to be an active, valuable and fun recreation site for our region. The other organizations can also attest to Darnell’s dedication and passion to see individual’s wellness, being active, and overall success.”
Darnell chose Bruno Minor Ball for the $1000 grant towards the purchase of a new portable mound. The mound is an essential addition for the future of minor ball in Bruno.
Many thanks to the Mayor, Corrinne, and the fine folks of Bruno for the warm hospitality. Congrats once again to an extraordinary volunteer for his positive impact on the community of Bruno. It was so great to celebrate you, Darnell! ~ Stephanie
