Volunteer Spotlight

One exemplary volunteer is the secret behind the popular silent auction at our Galas. With breathtaking energy, Claire Davis has doggedly solicited donations, overseen the preparation of necessary paperwork, supervised the tasteful arrangement of the auction displays, and staffed the collection tables. To be sure, several others have helped her, but she has been the undisputed linchpin of the whole affair, netting upwards of a hundred items per Gala and nearly two thousand dollars in revenue.

Who says one person can’t make a difference in the community?
