Meet our recent Volunteers of the Month! We joyously recognize the outstanding efforts of our Volunteers of the Month for all that they do. These volunteers have gone above and beyond the already high standards of CTRC volunteers. We thank them for the hard work, commitment and endless talent they bring to CTRC's program.
VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR 2010
- Marc Clark
 |
Marc Clark is a man with a big heart and a huge love for CTRC. Marc displays extraordinary commitment, patience and dedication in each role he tirelessly applies himself to - Lesson Volunteer, Barn Team, Training Team and CTRC's favorite chef extraordinaire.
When asked about Marc, one is not at a loss of words and without fail these words are among them...

Generous
Jill, a Physical Therapist, has witnessed Marc's generosity first hand.
Not only does he volunteer a number of her Hippotherapy classes but at the end
of each session Marc presents each
of the riders he works with a gift -
one he knows they will like because
he makes a point to ask Jill or
their parents for recommendations.
Compassionate
We have all heard that laughter is the best medicine. Marc, thanks to a great sense of humor, is always
doling out doses of laughter and
brightening the day of everyone he
meets. He'll tell you he has a doctor's appointment, but not to worry it is really an appointment with his Barn Buddy, Doc, a CTRC therapy horse that gets extra TCL from Marc! Marc barn buddies both Gigi
and Doc, giving them all the love
they deserve each week.
Champion
It is visible when Marc talks about CTRC how much the riders mean to him.
When asked why he deserves the Volunteer of the Year, Jill said: "His
reliability, helpfulness to other
volunteers, willingness to pitch
in... He definitely goes above and beyond his role as a volunteer and truly enjoys his relationships with his riders. He is always positive no matter what the situation." Beyond the hours he puts in here, if he's not at CTRC, he's out talking about CTRC; he brings in many new volunteers and gets many people that are not associated with CTRC to support CTRC.
As Marc approaches 2000 hours it is obvious that he is not only a mentor and and example to all our volunteers but takes pride in making CTRC the best it can be. He truly cares about CTRC's mission and changes the lives of our riders. Everything he does comes from his heart.
