Each year CHRS recognizes a member who exudes volunteer spirit to the ultimate degree. This year’s volunteer is no exception. She gives her time to CHRS on a most regular basis. She is kind, generous of spirit and always ready to do whatever is good for CHRS and her fellow volunteers. We know and love her as the ‘Cookie Lady’… Our 2024 CHRS volunteer of the year is Betty Cosmos. Betty will  recieve a complimentary CHRS lifetime membership. Anyone who knows our Betty, knows how deserving she is of this recognition. Thank You Betty!
