Terry Marsh
Terry Marsh has been involved with many organizations doing volunteer work.

Wight County’s Outstanding Senior Volunteer Selection Committee, in cooperation with the Minnesota State Fair Board and the Wright County Fair Board, made the selection.
The purpose of the program is to recognize that the senior citizen population is a very valuable resource to the communities as they continue to give back of their time and talents to the residents of our communities.
The eligibility criteria for the outstanding senior are that they are a Minnesota resident and must attain the age of 70 by Aug 1.
Only volunteer activities after the age of 65 for which there is no compensation (except for reimbursed expenses) are considered. The committee looks for leadership, diversity of accomplishments, and the variety of services performed.
