Anaheim volunteer gets presidential honor
Orange County Register: April 20, 2006 by Sarah Tully

Anaheim resident Linda Kricfalusi won the President's Volunteer Service Award for volunteering 520 hours as a literacy tutor, her organization announced today.

Last year, about 20,000 people nationwide were given the award, sponsored by the Points of Light Foundation and a top honor tied to the White House.
Kricfalusi, who volunteers and serves as a board member for READ/Orange County, is being recognized as part of National Volunteer Week, which starts Sunday.

Winners receive a signed letter from the president, a certificate and a lapel pin.
