2022 TIAC VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR SALLIE LAKE
CLAYTON, NY (September 26, 2022) – The Thousand Islands Arts Center (TIAC) recently announced its annual Volunteer of the Year award. This year the tribute was given to Sallie Lake.
Each year TIAC honors the volunteer who has gone above and beyond in their service to the organization, Leslie Rowland, TIAC executive director said: “Sallie became involved with the Arts Center a few years ago volunteering at our Festival, and, later joining our development and events committees, and in January, was elected to the TIAC Board of Trustees. Her buoyant spirt and undying enthusiasm define what volunteerism is all about. I know I speak for the entire Board and staff when I say, ‘we’re fortunate that Sallie came knocking at our door when she retired and became a seasonal River resident!’”
Sallie has been an Arts Center volunteer, member, friend, supporter, and as of January, a trustee. She has worked for several years at the Arts Center’s second hand shop, Finders Keepers, and also the 1000 Islands Art & Craft & Antique Festival. A native and resident of Roanoke, Sallie and her family have been summering in Thousand Island Park for over 20 years.
