The Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce honors Mel Dick as February’s Volunteer of the Month for his service to our community. Mel is more than a small business owner in our community and this honor does little to recognize his countless hours of volunteer work he spends his time doing.
Since moving to Sandpoint in 2012, Mel has immersed himself in our community. He is currently on the Board of Directors for the Rotary Club of Sandpoint and Panhandle Alliance for Education (PAFE). He also serves on Bonner General Hospital Foundation Advisory Council. Also, he is a large supporter and founder of the Race Across America Team Laughing Dog and Team 24/7 for Autism. Mel is also a large supporter and organizer of the WaCanID Bicycle Ride that takes hundreds of riders around the International Selkirk Loop.
When asked why he rides in the Race Across America Team, Mel answered, “to compete in one of the toughest sporting events in the world with a team of dedicated individuals, all of which have a sense of adventure and to raise awareness and funds to support autism.” In 2008, Mel did the ‘Ride For Education’ that took him on a 10,000 mile journey across the country benefiting the PAFE and early childhood literacy.
Please join the Greater Sandpoint Chamber of Commerce in congratulating Mel Dick in being honored as the Volunteer of the Month and thanking him for all of his contributions to our community. His hard work has done a lot for so many causes in our community. Thank you Mel!
