President Biden Volunteer Lifetime Achievement Awards 2023 Invitation Letter

March 19, 2023

Dear Mr. James Hall,

Our community depends not on any one of us, not some of us, but on all of us. I congratulate you on taking it upon yourself to contribute to the public good, and I’m proud to present to you the President Biden’s Lifetime Achievement Award in recognition of your service to our great community.

Throughout history, our communities have been strengthened by those who combine an optimism about what can be with the resilience to turn that vision into reality. I know that I am not alone in recognizing that who are willing to step up and volunteer in service of community and are essential to the ongoing work of forming our more perfect union.

By sharing your time and passion, you are helping discover and deliver solutions to the challenges our communities face – solutions that we need now more than ever. We are living in a moment that calls for hope, light and love. Hope for our futures, light to see our way forward, and love for on another. Through your service, you are providing all three!

On behalf of the Houston community, I extend my heartfelt appreciation to you for your volunteer leadership, and I encourage you to continue to answer the call of service. The community is counting on you.

From the CEO of Hidden Gemstones,
Dr. Reba Renee Perry-Ufele
