Ten Operation Smile volunteers receive President's Service Award from Youth Matter America

On Monday, Jan. 21, 2008, 10 Operation Smile volunteers received the President's Service Award during the seventh annual Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Oratorical Competition and Community Service Awards, hosted by Youth Matter America. This year's event was held at Mount Sinai Church in Portsmouth, VA.


Alexander Atkins, Barron Frazier, Courtney Killough, Gabrielle McDonald, Tamika Mills, Eliza Peak, Lauren Perlman, James R. and Beverly J. Weber, and Jemma Wolfe received the President's Volunteer Service Awards based on their service to Operation Smile over a 12 month period. The President's Volunteer Service Challenge is a White House initiative that recognizes Americans with awards for outstanding community service, while encouraging more people to serve.

The annual Martin Luther King Jr. Youth Oratorical Competition and Community Service Awards program is designed to give students an idea of the value of public speaking and build self-esteem. Students from middle and high schools competed for awards of savings bonds and other gifts. Contestants prepared a five minute speech with an influence from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s famous speeches. There were also other entertainment from students in the areas of dance, song, poetry, and instrumental music. A gospel performance was also given.

March 22nd Appearance:

Emily Schwab, Miss Hampton Holly Days Festival 2007 is a Junior at Christopher Newport University. As part of the Communication Studies Major we have to put together an event and raise $250 for the Communication Studies Scholarship. My group came up with a plan to host a dessert reception at the Peninsula Fine Arts Center here in the Hampton Roads area. Because we feel we can raise more than the mandatory $250, and because we think this is a great opportunity to help out a local charity, we are teaming with CHKD, the local CMN hospital. We are having the children there contribute their own artwork, crafts, etc to be used at a silent auction the night of the event. All of the money raised from ticket sales will benefit CNU and all of the money raised in donations and the silent auction will go to benefit CMN.
