The Andover YMCA presented Valerie Holthus of Andover High School with the 2008 Community Hero Award on January 11, 2008. Valerie is honored for her volunteer contributions to the Andover YMCA. Valerie Holthus has been a Andover YMCA Community Board member since the Andover branch opened in July of 2005. She has been active in the Y Partners Annual Support Campaign and has developed many partnerships in the community. Valerie was the Special Events Chair for the 1st Andover YMCA Wine Tasting & Silent Auction fundraiser held at the Courtyards of Andover this past November. Thanks to Valerie’s hard work and dedication the event was a tremendous success, netting over $6,000 and providing an opportunity for the community to come together and learn more about the YMCA . Valerie has worked with organizations such as the Timberwolves, WCCO Star Gazing and has volunteered for a number of Andover YMCA community events, such as the Andover Fun Fest and Harvest Festival. Valerie brings positive experiences and joy to many through her enthusiasm, passion, and dedication. We thank Valerie for her commitment to the Andover Community, the YMCA and the individuals, children and families we serve each day.
