The City of Sequim presented the sixth annual “Westcott Award” to Deborah Weaver for her 2018 service as a Volunteer in Police Service (VIPS) at the City Volunteer Appreciation Dinner on Wednesday, November 20, 2019.
Weaver joined the program in 2016 and in 2018 volunteered 418 hours with the Police Department. Her work included: signing up new members of the Project Lifesaver program and conducting monthly battery checks; event assistance at the Irrigation Festival, Lavender Festival and Boys and Girls Club fundraiser; signing up new businesses and providing support for the Business Watch program; and offering front desk assistance at the Police Department.
“Deb has a delightful sense of humor and goes above-and-beyond in her support of officers and the public. She’s a true patriot and promoter of Sequim,” said Tiffany Banning Executive Assistant to the Police Chief.
The Westcott Award was named for Emily Westcott in recognition of her tireless commitment to volunteer service within the community. Westcott received the first award in 2014.
