AIBU to expect a proper thank you?

I’ve been volunteering for a local charity helping run support groups for a year, this is the only acknowledgement/thanks I have received from the charity all year (see mass email sent). I would estimate that I have volunteered at least 200 hours of my time. Is it just me or would an end of year proper “thank you” addressed to my name be too much to ask? AIBU to expect a thank you? Maybe I’m expecting too much? 🤔 (the charity has 50 paid staff and 100 volunteers)

That is pants- grants to celebrate volunteers are usually fairly easily available, otherwise a purposeful heartfelt thanks email at minimum, not a footnote token gesture like this. I’d send some feedback

I’m astonished that the sender doesn’t seem to think a thank you is warranted here.
