    We would like to thank Barbara for her hard work and dedication to the center. Barbara is
    being recognized for her commitment and outstanding work as a volunteer. She pitches in
    with anything we ask her to help with such as, events, our community garden, grab and go
    lunches during COVID ,and decorating for lunches and dinners.
    Barbara is a retired school teacher of 35 years and decided to volunteer at the center because
    she’s social, likes to be involved and loves to give back to the community. She’s married to
    Jack who also volunteers and they have 1 son who lives in California. Barbara’s hobbies
    are reading , going to the beach, fair weather golfer and she loves to travel, she has visited
    Africa, Greece, Thailand and the Caribbean which was her absolute favorite.
    Barbara continues to volunteer at the center because she has made a lot of friends and really
    likes the people. She stated “ It’s nice to see everyone coming back to the center after a long
    hard haul with COVID and the positivity and happiness they all bring through the door is
    refreshing!”
