Nikki Nunes
“Nikki is the ‘glue’ that holds
our operation together at Race Point Light Station. She gets paid to be our
reservation agent, but also volunteers her time and expertise to the
chapter, records our meeting minutes and is an important part of everything
we do.”
“Nikki also maintains our stoke of cleaning
supplies, paper products, etc., for the overnight stay program at the
lighthouse, and she and her husband

Bernie make it a point to consistently
visit the lighthouse to take an inventory of supplies – and then
replenish them as needed by going to stores in Hyannis – a two hour

“And if that wasn’t enough, Nikki also makes sure that
all the hand and bath towels at the
lighthouse are fresh and clean in between their regular washing cycles.
Nikki is most deserving of ALF’s ‘Len Hadley Volunteerism Award.’”
