MOLINE, ILLINOIS – WQPT is delighted to announce that William Breedlove has been named the WQPT Volunteer of the Year 2016. The “Hawaiian themed” award ceremony was held at Western Illinois University QC Riverfront Campus on August 4, 2016.
Breedlove, who is an attorney at Winstein, Kavensky and Cunningham was joined by his wife Caitlin and daughter Nora. The award was presented by Mary Pruess, WQPT General Manager.
“We are very fortunate to have someone like Bill be a part of WQPT. During the past year he has not only served on the WQPT Community Advisory Board, Imagination Station Committee and Champagne on the Rocks committee, he is a great supporter of the station out in the community,” said Bea Brasel Special Projects Coordinator for the station. “He was instrumental in putting together our pet therapy room at Imagination Station and it was such a success we will be giving him a larger room for Imagination Station 2017,” Brasel said.
During the last year 350 volunteers have helped the station at festivals, for mailings, served on committees or helped at events. “We couldn’t do what we do with our volunteer team,” said Pruess.
WQPT is a public media service of Western Illinois University.
