Lt. Governor Anthony Brown
presents Christine Tolbert (Harford County)
with Lifetime Achievement
Award for Volunteerism |
| |
| Christine Tolbert, Executive
Director of the Hosanna Community House, Inc., was one of fifty-one
recipients to be recognized by Governor Martin O'Malley and the
Governor's Office on Volunteerism and Service on April 22, 2008, in
Annapolis. Mrs. Tolbert was singled out for her many years of
service to the Hosanna School, now a museum in Darlington. She has
served for twenty-seven years as it Executive Director, a volunteer
position. Her tireless efforts over those years led to the major
renovation of the school, the first school for African-Americans in
Harford County. The renovation included the rebuilding of the
second floor of the school, which had been destroyed by a hurricane in
1954. Mrs. Tolbert now is busy with maintaining the school as a
museum, to which students and adults come from many points in Maryland
and in Pennsylvania, to learn about African-American history of the era
of the one- and two- room schoolhouse.
Mrs. Tolbert was nominated in the
Lifetime Achievement Award category. She has been active in many
other voluntary activities before and after her retirement as a teacher,
counselor, and supervisor in the Harford County Public Schools.
Among those activities was a term as president of the Harford County
Retired School Personnel Association, which nominated her for the award. |
