2008 Shelley Krasnow Community Service Award

The Prince William County–Greater Manassas Chamber of Commerce awarded the 19th annual Shelley Krasnow Community Service Award to Capital Hospice and Micron Technology Virginia’s K-12 Education Outreach Program at the Community Showcase Luncheon held on Tuesday, February 26th, at the Best Western Battlefield Inn. Rev. Carolyn S.

The Shelley Krasnow Community Service Award was sponsored by Idearc Media Inc. - Official Publisher of Verizon Print Directories.

The money for the award was raised by the Chamber’s Community Relations Committee at the 19th Annual Cuisine de Commerce Luncheon held every year in November.

The Community Showcase is one of the many benefits of membership in the Prince William County–Greater Manassas Chamber of Commerce. The purpose of the luncheon is to highlight member nonprofits and the work they perform in the community. Not only are they offered free exhibit space at the event in which to distribute information about their organization and its mission, but their services are also highlighted to other businesses through the Shelley Krasnow Community Service Award nomination and award process. This year’s luncheon was sponsored by Scott & Stringfellow, Inc.
