Congratulations to Mrs. Esther Fletterer for being chosen as the 2011 Volunteer of the Year at Central Baptist Church of Quincy, Illinois. The Congregation unanimously voted to award Mrs. Fletterer the 2011 Volunteer of the Year award during the church’s Annual Meeting on Sunday, January 29, 2012. The full time staff started the Volunteer of the Year award to recognize persons who has volunteer behind the scenes for several years without the fanfare or recognition they deserve. Esther has faithfully served the Lord since joining Central Baptist Church fifty-years ago on January 30, 1952. For years, Esther served as the volunteer Assistant Stewardship Secretary on Sundays by helping Mr. James Mealiff. She has also served in the Church Office on Monday mornings by alphabetizing the Friendship Cards, recording Wednesday Night Chuppers reservations, and coordinating the work of Church Women United.

“I am truly shocked,” Mrs. Fletterer told the Congregation following the surprise nomination and election. “I never expected this award. I’m speechless.” At the age of 90 years old, Esther assured the Congregation she would continue to serve the Lord at the Church.

Past Volunteer of the Year recipients have included Mrs. Elane Muegge (2009), and Mrs. Verna Baltzer (2010).
