DENVER—During his visit to Colorado, President Bush will honor a woman who has volunteered for seven years at a program that provides eye care for the homeless.
Bush will present the President’s Volunteer Service Award to Stout Street Eye Clinic volunteer Cherie Yager when he arrives Thursday at Buckley Air Force Base.
Yager previously worked as an optician in the Denver area for 25 years. More than 4,000 people received treatment at the eye clinic last year.
Bush typically honors local volunteers on his trips around the country.
The White House says he also plans to meet with Jeanne Assam, the volunteer security guard who wounded a gunman at New Life Church in Colorado Springs before he killed himself after a deadly rampage Dec. 9.
