Judith Williams was recognized as the 2009 Community Volunteer of the Year by United Way's Volunteer Center at the Annual "Volunteer United" Volunteer Awards Banquet, held in celebration of National Volunteer Week and our local volunteers. Judith, whose son has a disability, volunteers with Therapeutic Recreation Services for the city of Chattanooga as a year-round special events organizer. As the parent of a special needs child, she learned that fun, social activities were few and far between for children and adults like her son. So she decided to create her own events for the local disability community. Now there is a full year of events, from Halloween parties to Spring Proms just for the special needs population in our area.
