On November 1, about 70 of our amazing volunteers celebrated our 15th
anniversary as a chapter of Newborn in Need with a wonderful luncheon.
In addition to enjoying the yummy food in our potluck salad buffet, we
were honored to have
Lisa
Little, Director of Volunteer & Guest Services at Parkland, who
shared how much it means to the families that receive our beautiful
handmade items!
Other special guests included John and Pam Schindler, the Charity
co-chairs for the TPHCCA Conference and they presented us with the final
check for $1,387 from the silent auction they held on our behalf in
late September. Traci Long and Mary Ann Saxton from Love Thy Neighbor
were also our guests and their organization donated $2,000 in fabric and
batting in November! We are so blessed!

Thanks to the wonderful volunteers who helped organize the luncheon. Marge Vissers and Carol Terry planned the event and coordinated the set up, food, decorations, and clean up. Betsy Winkle designed and set up our beautiful centerpieces. Katherine Thompson put together our great slide show of past and present volunteer pictures. Liz Dickson, Nancy Bloomfield and Pat Curry helped with set up and clean up. Paula Feldman handled check in for the luncheon, Jennifer Jolly made our special celebration cake, and Janice Bond
helped with pre-luncheon planning and gift wrap even though she could
not attend the luncheon. So many other volunteers jumped in to help, it
is impossible to list them all but we do so appreciate everyone who
helped make it a great luncheon!
