Larry Zenker Springfield, VA Volunteer at Audrey Moore Rec Center Length of Service: 13 years General Support Assistant/ Fitness Room Monitor

Larry Zenker can be counted on to help with just about any task and to provide a bit of levity for staff and patrons alike. He has been volunteering for years and knows Audrey Moore Rec Center well, having even served on the staff many moons ago. He carries out his duties with pride and takes ownership in the property. Whether engaging staff with his gentle banter or chatting with customers as he tidies up, seeing Zenker around Audrey Moore is sure to brighten the day. Zenker took it upon himself to expand his role to cleaning up the skateboard park, not only picking up trash but taking the time to separate the recycling and disposing of debris appropriately. He had done the same in the Rec Center. His recycling efforts make Audrey Moore a bit greener, and his humor and positivity make the whole environment a bit brighter.
