The Albert Tuttle Award for Outstanding Volunteer Service to the Indian River Lagoon for 2001 was awarded to Lila and Ray DiZefalo. Ray and Lila have been active volunteers with the MRC since 1992, hosting the Grant Brown Bag Lunch Program, as Lagoon Watch Monitors and participants in the Right Whale Monitoring Program.
