The winner also wins one of the following prize options: free entry to the next two Club Luncheons, $50 of Club Collectibles, or a one-year free membership. The winner of the Award has his or her name inscribed on a plaque and a short Bio featured in the June/July Newsletter and on the website. At the Annual May Luncheon, the recipient of the Ron Miller Spirit of Volunteerism Award is randomly drawn from that pool of volunteer names. At the end of the event season, and before the Annual May Luncheon, the outstanding volunteers for the previous season are nominated to go into a pool of names. The sculpture resides permanently in the Club office for all to see. The Club purchased the sculpture from Al Gustave with room on its base for at least 16 name plaques. The Award commemorates and helps to perpetuate the giving spirit that Ron Miller embodied when it came to volunteering for the Club. The Ron Miller Spirit of Volunteerism Award is a permanent Award from the Club, which was initially subsidized by donations from friends and family of Ron Miller, and which is given to an outstanding volunteer on a yearly basis. The Club will be forever grateful for the love, dedication, and kindness it received from Ron Miller, the Miller family and Ron Miller’s friends. His relationship with the Club was almost symbiotic he volunteered unstintingly, and got love and support from Club members in the same measure. The Club plans to memorialize his spirit both as a successful and talented wood turner, and as a dedicated volunteer and supporter of the Club and its functions. Ron exemplified the kind of person who enables an Art Club like the Vero Beach Art Club to function. The Vero The Vero Beach Art Club is proud to offer The Ron Miller Spirit of Volunteerism Award, in memory of artist and member Ron Miller.
