The MFi's 2013 volunteer recognition reception will be held from on Sunday, March 10 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. at The Center at Medfield, and all are invited.

In 2012, Bill Massaro received the Volunteer of the Year award, Jane Garofalo received the Youth Volunteer of the Year Award, and John Harney was the first recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Award.  

Massaro, Garofalo, and Harney, along with all those nominated, were honored with official proclamations presented by MFi president, Stephen Phillips.  More than 20 Medfield residents received recognition for their volunteer efforts at last spring's reception.
