During its recent annual meeting, the Bulloch County Historical Society presented the inaugural Volunteer Award to its vice president, Joe McGlamery. “This occasional award will be special, because it recognizes key people who believe we can have a brighter future if we learn from the past,” said Virginia Anne Franklin Waters, project coordinator for the historical society. As she led up to introducing McGlamery as the award recipient, Waters described him as "a longtime member who quietly, often behind the scenes, organizes programs and manages projects.”
