Mrs. Binks was honored for work in education and
volunteerism. She is an 18-year member of the FUSD school board and a

Riverside; Wilmer Amina Carter, of Rialto; Bobbi Simenton, of Highland; and

Nies and Laura Vroman, all of Redlands.
"The honorees showed a particularly strong
commitment to lifelong volunteerism," said Jo Jones, the university's director
of volunteer services. "As we have looked at this group, we have really
been struck by how much wonderful work is done by volunteers in our area," Jones
said. "These are all wonderful, accomplished women, who have volunteered their
time in a variety of ways."
