Local volunteer to receive service award

On Aug. 29, Lynelle Chauncey Zelnar will be honored with the 2008 Glory Award for her work with Forgotten Soldiers Outreach, a local nonprofit that sends monthly care packages to soldiers overseas.

The award ceremony is set to take place at 6:30 p.m. at Crest Theatre in Delray Beach and is given annually to those in the community dedicated to volunteering and community involvement.

Tickets to the event are $22 for adults and $10 for children. All proceeds go to low-income areas of Delray Beach.

Food and live entertainment is scheduled at the ceremony.

Zelnar said she is truly honored to be a recipient of the award.

She said it is because of all the support she has received throughout the years that FSO is able to continue what began in 2003, simply to assure that deployed troops are not forgotten.

To buy tickets, call 954-415-8332.
