- OPB Salutes our Volunteer of the Quarter, Charles Aubin
-
Charles Aubin supports OPB in many ways. In addition to leading tours of the station, he serves as a leadership volunteer during membership drives. Charles has donated more than 1,150 hours since beginning his service to OPB in 1986. - Always willing to take on more when needed, Charles had already worked a number of hours assisting with the fall radio member drive when he agreed to lead tours for our September open house. He worked a double shift, escorting about 200 people on tours of OPB in one day!
- OPB is fortunate to have such a dedicated volunteer as Charles. His skills and generous gift of time help OPB maintain an outstanding level of service to Oregon and southern Washington. Thank you, Charles!
