Last week, TEAM, Inc. named Basement Systems with the prestigious title of Volunteer of the Year. The organization said of Basement Systems, “Patient kind and giving, they are truly a great asset.”

Basement Systems Vice President Mark Daconto and Basement Systems employee John Kay accepted the award. Several other local citizens and organizations were also given awards at the Volunteer Reception held at John J. Sullivan’s in Ansonia, Connecticut.

Basement Systems President Larry Janesky accepted the award and spoke to the crowd at the United Way’s 18th Annual Volunteer Recognition Reception held on May 5.

A number of other local figures were honored at the ceremony as well for their volunteer work in the Greater Valley community. Other awards given out included Volunteers of the Year and Living Treasure.

The team at Basement Systems regularly volunteers with a number of local nonprofit organizations such as the United Way, TEAM Inc., and the Parent Child Resource Center. Basement Systems is also a member of the Corporate Volunteer Council.
