Volunteer Receives Celebrate! Award

Watertown Community Foundation's 2016 Celebrate! Adult Award Winner was nominated by two people. We are proud the adult celebrate! winner is Nyla Bergan (center). Retired teacher Nyla Bergan chairs the noon sandwich ministry through the Salvation Army, sews hospital gowns and cleans catheter bags for Prairie Lakes Hospice patients and is busy serving her community and church in other ways as well.  

The Watertown Community Foundation awards a $1000 grant to an outstanding volunteer who is selected through a nomination and selection committee process.  The winner then designates what non-profits receive the grant funds. In the photo she is with recipients of a $500 Foundation grant each, Mary Beth Stinson (left), representing Salvation Army's sandwich ministry; Julie Sampson, Prairie Lakes Hospice - Director of Home, Health Hospice and Home Connection and Jan DeBerg, Executive Director Watertown Area Community Foundation. The Foundation has sponsored the Celebrate! award for 10 years.
