George Tsoris, Volunteer, Recognized as a Maytag Dependable Leader
September 28, 2018 @ 6:00 pm - 7:30 pm
Monday afternoons are special for the members of George Tsoris’ Poetry Club! Ever patient, George has been leading this group of young scholars for four years. According to Matt Koumaras, the Club’s CEO, “This is a very prestigious award though a national partnership between the Boys & Girls Club of America and Maytag. We are so proud to have George as part of our team! George’s commitment to our youth is inspiring to the staff as well as the kids.”
The key lesson Tsoris teaches the children is a confidence to express themselves. Through interesting writing assignments, fun poem recitations, and storytelling George teaches them to never shy away from being true to themselves and sharing their feelings. And at 90 years of age George has never missed Poetry Club!
The Maytag Dependable leader award was granted for George’s demonstrated dedication to keeping youth on the path to achieving Great Futures. The award includes a $20,000 grant to the Club for scholarships for needy Club members.
