Revenue Office Noted

Published Wednesday, October 22, 1997 in the Gurdon Times

The Nevada County Revenue Office was recently awarded a certificate from the Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency (ARORA) for its part in helping ot promote the Arkansas Organ Donor Registry.

Given annually, the Kelly Padgett Memorial Award for public education was accepted earlier this summer by Gail Price, State Revenue Office administrator, on behalf of all the 144 State Revenue Offices across Arkansas.

Each Revenue Office was recognized with a framed certificate to commemorate the occasion.

Since the registry was established in January 1995, more than 500,000 people have indicated "organ donor" when obtaining an Arkansas driver's license, making it one of the most sucessful Donor Registries in the country.

The Arkansas Regional Organ Recovery Agency is a Little Rock-based, non-profit, independent organ procurement agency serving the state of Arkansas. Established in 1987, ARORA's mission is to provide public and professional education concerning organ donation and transplatation.
