The 2016 Celebration of Giving of the Highland Lakes Legacy Fund fill the banquet hall of the Horseshoe Bay Resort Tower Thursday, Nov. 17.
The guests had come to honor friends and neighbors who lived out the spirit of philanthropy in time, service and treasure.
“They exemplify the spirit of giving,” said Donna Klaeger, interim executive director of the Legacy Fund.
Honored were Stuart and Rebecca Nunnally, the Philanthropy Award; Martin McLean, Community Volunteer Award; Ely Banuet Rodriguez of the Marble Falls Children's Day Celebration, Excellence as a Non-Profit Leader Award, and current coordinators of VetRide, Sophie McCoy and Bill Worley, an award dedicated to the memory of the program's founder, the late Chuck Caraway.
In each case, the audience found those honored ready to give credit back to other volunteers and supporters of the work they have championed.
