Volunteers honored at
KHC appreciation event
The Keizer Community
Library, Keizer Art Associa-
tion, Keizer Heritage Mu-
seum and Keizer Heritage
Center Foundation honored
more than 80 volunteers at
the annual volunteer appre-
ciation event, “Giving Time,
Touching Hearts,” on Sunday,
April 17.
The Keizer Art Association
presented its Distinguished
Volunteer Award to John De-
Jarnatt, an association member
since 2013.
“John has made himself
invaluable as our webmaster,
our monthly poster designer
and our event photographer,”
said Keizer Art Association
Board of Directors president
Lore Christopher. “He never
says ‘no;’ he always shows up,
participates, and over-delivers.
John DeJarnatt is a perfect fi rst
recipient of our Distinguished
Volunteer Award.”
Acting as the volunteer
event photographer, DeJarnett
turned over his camera to an-
other volunteer long enough
to accept his award.
“Thank you, John, for all
you do for KAA,” Christopher
said.

“During those four years,”
the citation reads, “whenever
Chris saw a need, she was
there to help. From contribut-
ing to library committee work,
to serving as vice president of
the library Board of Directors,
to knitting winter scarves for
patrons, she has been willing
to help the library.”
Her commitment is most
exemplifi ed when she volun-
teered, without hesitation, to
steer the library through a dif-
fi cult transition in 2015 as the
unoffi cial Library Manager.
“She has been my rock and
the rock for everyone at the
library,” Hickman said.
The Art Burr Library
Champion Award is named for
the late Art Burr, who began
volunteering at the library in
1999 and was instrumental in
forming a Blue Ribbon Com-
mittee to explore options for
a suitable library location and
worked closely with city lead-
ers and the Heritage Center
Foundation, culminating in
double the fl oor space at the
Heritage Center and addi-
tional collaborations with the
City of Keizer.
He served as voluntary
Library Director from 2008
until 2011, when he became
co-director with the late Steve
Prothero, namesake of the li-
brary’s Prothero Computer
Center.
