United Way Volunteers of the Month for July 2009
Warren Cross, Mike Poorman, Jed McCoy, & Brent Karr
Warren Cross, Mike Poorman, Jed McCoy and Brent Karr, who all volunteer for Conesville Recreation have been named the United Way of Coshocton County Volunteers of the Month for June. They were nominated by Recreation President Tom Gano.
These four gentlemen were vital in ensuring the success of the summer ball season at Conesville Recreation. Gano states that “they went above and beyond to help throughout the year.” Projects such as getting the fields ready for play, mowing, picking up trash, repairs and literally anything that was asked, were the reasons they have been selected for this honor.
In addition, all four men are active in coaching or helping with his children’s ball teams. “All four of these men are great to work with and are hard working, positive role models for our kids,” states Gano.
Warren Cross and Brent Karr have been involved for over 2 years and Jed McCoy and Mike Poorman, over 4 years in this program.

The dedication by individuals such as these is what makes the organization strong and able to serve the young children in our community.
