Holt was recently

named the Volunteer of the Year by the Georgia Recreation and Parks Association

among volunteers in cities or counties serving a population between 20,000

and 70,000. Recently, Holt has spearheaded a fund-raising drive for the

All Children's Playground, which needs more than $150,000 to build a special

needs accessible playground at Picnic Park.

Holt has served

on the Peachtree City Recreation Commission since 1995 and was recently

reappointed to another term by the City Council.

Holt's career

in recreation began 47 years ago with the Lexington, Ky. YMCA. When he

retired in 1993, he was the assistant superintendent of recreation for

the city of Detroit.

Locally, Holt

also volunteered as a mentor through the county school system, as chairman

of the Fayette Community Hospital's Hospitality Committee and as vice-chairman

of the Big Bethel A.M.E. Church Credit Union.

Those who desire

may make contributions in Holt's memory to the All Children's Playground

fund in care of the Peachtree City Recreation Department, 191 McIntosh

Trail, Peachtree City 30269.
