The Maggie Award was created by Millie Stevenson and Alan Singer to celebrate the outstanding BMWNEF member for their volunteering contributions to the club.
My wife, Maggie Nelson, and I joined BMWNEF in 2001. Maggie was a tireless and selfless volunteer who also had a great sense of humor and loved to laugh. She was at her best during the Winter Rally and after she was chosen as the Raffle Ticket Queen by all who worked with her, the Raffle Ticket gift area was always rocking with laughter and fun. Maggie never wanted adulation, she just joyfully loved helping people!
Sadly, Maggie passed away on September 21, 2009. In 2010, and with great compassion and love for Maggie and the club…Millie and Alan decided to keep Maggie’s volunteering spirit alive by creating The Maggie Award for the best
BMWNEF Volunteer of each year. The Maggie Award does not have to be given each year but here is the list of those who have won the award, not necessarily in consecutive years.
