Clymont Memorial Society
Clymont Community League is proudly volunteer-led and operated. Countless volunteers dedicate their time and energy to supporting our events, programs, and day-to-day operations. In 2011, the Clymont Memorial Society was founded to honor the significant contributions of these volunteers.
We are deeply committed to recognizing and celebrating the efforts of our volunteers, both past and present. Thanks to their hard work, several successful projects, events, and fundraisers have helped create beautiful spaces and memorable community experiences. These volunteers have played a vital role in building and maintaining the hall, as well as enhancing the social and recreational life of their neighbors, families, and friends.
Tree & Memorial Obelisks for Volunteers
The Volunteer Tree, proudly displayed inside the hall, was created in 1989 to honor those who made significant contributions to the building of the new hall. Over time, it has expanded to recognize individuals who have volunteered for the League and its projects.
Each year, members of the League nominate volunteers for the tree based on the number of hours and years of service. Any member can propose names at a monthly meeting for consideration. The executive committee reviews these nominations in January and February, evaluating each person’s contributions. The committee then presents their recommendations at the Annual General Meeting in March, providing a brief overview of why a volunteer should or should not be added to the tree. Approved names are added to the Volunteer Tree before Community Appreciation Night in April annually, with the names formally announced at the event.
Just behind the hall, the Clymont Memorial Garden features a tree-lined sidewalk leading to a fountain and benches. Within this peaceful space, four obelisks bear the names of volunteers who have passed. Each year, the Memorial Society meets to review the names on the Volunteer Tree and prepare plaques to honor those individuals who are no longer with us.
