Featured Volunteer Teri Ward

As Teri Ward moves to Arizona this weekend, let’s appreciate and thank her for her numerous volunteer activities at the Center. Teri began attending the Center in the 1990s. She’s been an usher, served on the Hospitality Team, shopped for supplies, helped shop for the summer family picnic, and she also served by cleaning the Center’s kitchens. She did all of this from a loving place, with joy and pleasure. Thank you, Teri. We will miss you!
