Description of Item:

Ms. Betty Soo Hoo has volunteered for Adult Sports for over a year.  Betty was instrumental in helping to develop a Pickleball program at the Sunset High School gymnasium.  Betty helped with drop-in coordination, set-up, and promotion of the program.  Betty and her fellow volunteers were valuable with helping teach participants the game of Pickleball, helping provide additional equipment, and serving as the overall ambassador for this growing sport in the District.  Through continued meetings and discussion, the District has started offering more Pickleball programs.  Betty will also be taking on a new volunteer role to assist with implementation of the recently awarded YES Grant by teaching youth in this program the sport of Pickleball at no cost to the participant and District.

 

Ms. Betty Soo Hoo is enthusiastic, dedicated, and a positive role model for everyone she assists.  The District is fortunate to have such a consummate professional and valuable volunteer in our community, who is so enjoyable to be around.  The District thanks Betty for her dedicated service and congratulates her for earning the recognition of Volunteer of the Month for November 2019.
