The Florida Health Care Association's Group presented the Volunteer of the Year Award for the state of Florida to Green Cove Springs Lodge members Penny and Rick Kunze during one of their monthly visits to Clyde E. Lassen State Veterans’ Nursing Home. The Kunzes accepted the award for their 14 years of monthly volunteerism at the nursing home on behalf of the Lodge, including hosting monthly bingo games, visiting residents with their service dogs in training, attending events, and coordinating fishing trips and outings for the veterans. On Aug. 23, the Kunzes presented the award to the lodge since it is a group volunteer award naming the lodge.
