Believe it or not we are planning for 2012 already and there a few areas that we could use some help with. If you enjoy social or golf event planning, understand handicaps or like outreach work with sponsors, then we'd love to talk to you! Volunteering is a great way to have fun, meet new people, and contribute to the success of our chapter. If you are interested in getting involved, please contact our chapter Leadership Chair, Annette Kahler, by email at annettekahler@aol.com.
One of the greatest volunteer honors that this Chapter has is our Devine O'Connor Award. It was established in 2003, on behalf of our founders Mary Pat Devine and Suzanne O'Connor. Pictured below from left to right are past winners: Robin Raco, Denise Horan, Cathy Billa, Carol Neicarz, 2011 wnner Susan Lundberg and Michele Walls.
