Volunteers of the Year

Zahn First Colonial High

At First Colonial High School, Volunteer of the Year honors go to Steve Zahn for both the school and as the Citywide High School Volunteer of the Year. Steve leads the FC Band Boosters, where he organized fundraising events, reorganized and revitalized the organization, fed band members at rehearsals and events, served as a Pit Crew dad during marching season, coordinated the rewriting of the group's bylaws, prepared financial records for audit, drove trucks full of equipment, and provided legal advice at no charge. In fact, one booster's nomination asserted, "I have great respect for Steve…even if he IS a lawyer."

Steve produced a State of the Band message to parents to explain the Boosters' status and plans. Those who know Steve well say that if they had to choose a single word to describe him, that word would be "selfless."
