GROWING - MOST RIDES! Barbara Sappington has been a Volunteer with Faith in Action Georgetown since 2004, and she still is 'all in' with the most completed drives for the last quarter of 2017! Barbara retired from Southwestern University, and says she "volunteers because I believe that each person should serve our community in some way, and I really enjoy meeting our interesting clients." And to quote, John Burroughs ~ “The smallest good deed is better than the grandest intention.” GIVING -Judy Schneider was chosen this quarter as the Volunteer who gives back to the Community by assisting FIAG with other services & projects. Not only is Judy one of our 'Pioneer' 15+yr Volunteers, she is also the Volunteer who handles the Medical Equipment closet and coordinates all the pick ups and deliveries for those in need here in Georgetown. She also is the one who sends the lovely and inspiring birthday cards our Volunteers receive each year. Judy, thank you so much for all you do, we appreciate you! GOING - MOST MILES! Jill Goldstein was one of the top ten drivers of 2017 and our 4th quarter winner for completing 1056 miles of drive time with Faith in Action in a 3 month period! After retiring from the Budget and Accounting department at NASA she has been hard to hold down! "Driving seniors is the best volunteer job I've ever had! I've met and appreciated so many wonderful clients, I've seen parts of Georgetown that I wouldn't normally get to see, and it keeps me busy and out of trouble...all with the flexibility to work only when my schedule permits". Thank you so much Jill for all you do for Georgetown Seniors and 'Going the Extra Mile', YOU ROCK!! GOING THE DISTANCE! Congratulations to Volunteer Richard LaCagnina! Richard is our fourth quarter winner from the random drawing of all the long range drives into Austin, Cedar Park or Temple! Richard has been a blessing to FiAG many times as he is one of our last minute drivers and helps us during the Grace Episcopal Giving Tree gift deliveries each year! Thank You Richard for all you do for Georgetown Seniors, and helping us Go the Distance! |
