He has been a volunteer member for many years, tirelessly devoting hundreds of hours of effort annually, according to the SAR Division's Sgt. Karen Harris.
The SAR "Member of the Year" award is made annually to recognize individuals who volunteer time and effort towards SAR activity and safety of citizens throughout La Paz County. The SAR Division has more than seventy members county-wide.
The state of Arizona presented its own SAR "Member of the Year" award, which was made earlier this year to La Paz County resident, Dan Warner. He was chosen for the 2000 award from all SAR units throughout the fifteen counties within Arizona.
A rescue-diver class begins May 8 at 3 p.m. The course will be every Tuesday for 6 to 8 weeks, held at the Boating Safety Center, 8484 Riverside Drive, Parker. Residents interested in volunteering for the Department's SAR Division are encouraged to contact Sheriff Hal Collett at 520-669-6141 (or 311 in the Salome area).
