Marshall Van Etten Memorial Service Award
This year’s recipient of the Marshall Van Etten Memorial Service Award is Charline Oelfke. Charline has been a member of the club for many years.  She has contributed her time in many volunteer roles and for the past three years she has served as the club’s Representative to the New England Camera Club Council, an officer position.

The Nashoba Valley Photo club is pleased to present the Marshall Van Etten Memorial Service Award to Charline Oelfke for her many contributions to the success of the club while serving as an officer and for other volunteer tasks that have contributed to the smooth operation of the meetings.  For her diligence in presenting the work of the club members and furthering the standing of the club in the greater camera club community.

This award was established in the memory of Marshall Van Etten, an initial member of the club and, until his untimely death, a steady contributor to the club. The underlying concept of this award is to select a member of the club who has contributed his/her time and effort to the success of NVPC over a year or more.  It can be someone who has served in several officerships or coordinator roles over a period of several years, or it can be someone who has contributed a great deal of time, productivity, and enthusiasm, in a relatively short period of time.  This service award exemplifies an effort to help improve the success of our club and the recipient of this award is chosen each spring by Board members and given out in a special plaque at the annual banquet in June.
