LDANR's Volunteer of the Month!
We would like to thank all of our fantastic volunteers' support towards working for "the right to learn, the power to achieve"! The LDANR would not be possible without the committment and dedication of all of our volunteers. Some of our volunteers demonstrate an extra level of dedication that inspires us, and everyone surrounding them. Every month, the LDANR recognizes one outstanding volunteer. They will remain on our website and be featured in our newsletter. Congratulations on your extraordinary efforts!
We would like to give special recognition and thanks to Suzanne Eden by naming her our Volunteer of the Month for February 2012.
Suzanne is one of LDANR's B.E.S.T. Program Volunteers. Suzanne was interested in working with children and wanted to get involved in her community to make a difference in children's lives and found B.E.S.T. to be a program that would provide valuable experience. Suzanne says that this "has been an even more valuable experience than I had intended". When she's not volunteering at B.E.S.T., Suzanne enjoys reading psychology books and mysteries and has said her mom is her hero for providing uncoinditional love and support. A big thank you to Suzanne for her efforts and dedication towards our B.E.S.T. program!
Past Volunteers of the Month:
November 2011: Emily Skinner
