Kind, generous, dependable, showing grace for others, organized, creative in her own way and very punctual…these are the characteristics that are used to describe our January Volunteer of the Month, Michelle Combs. She has been a member of the League for four years and graciously serves her community without complaint. Not only does she involve herself unselfishly, she is a full-time mom and wife. Michelle was the 1st member to express an interest in helping with the Fun Run, which goes above and beyond her placement. She has tirelessly worked with the printing company to make our fabulous Fun Run poster and flyer and also helped with distributing them to the schools and local businesses. On several occasions, she has been known to help set up for the general meetings…and you guessed it…that’s not her job either. Another friend says she has a very sweet disposition and always has a smile on her face. Her husband, of 10 years, admires her dedication to their children and family. Because of your dedication to your family, friends and the League, we congratulate you, Michelle Combs, January 2012 Volunteer of the Month.

Natalie Thornton has definitely made an impact on our community and League. Through much blood, sweat and maybe even a few tears, she is the reason we received grant money this year. We appreciate you, Natalie Thornton, and you deserve a “Pat on the Back”!
