The Jacksonville Area Chamber of Commerce hosted the Mayor’s Student Volunteer Awards Ceremony on Tuesday, March 15, at the JHS Auditorium.
Twenty-nine local students received awards for their volunteer service hours performed during 2015. Over 6,000 hours of service were logged by these students at a variety of businesses, churches and organizations throughout the year. Tim Chipman served as a speaker for the event.
