Volunteer Center Honor

Executive Director, Lynn Cole, was honored by the Volunteer Center at their Annual Volunteer Center Recognition Event on April 19, 2018. The Mission of The Volunteer Center is to promote volunteerism, support nonprofit organizations, and engage people in meaningful volunteer service in the communities they serve. This year’s event was held at the Michigan Shores Club and honorees represented four organizations, RISE International, Grace House Mentors, Go Green Winnetka, and Keystone Alliance.

Barbara Tubekis, Executive Director at the Volunteer Center, spoke about each recipient and the organizational mission, and presented each honoree with a keepsake. Lynn’s family attended the event to celebrate the recognition. Lynn said, “I am grateful to the Volunteer Center and its Board, and for the work you do, and thank you for the opportunity to share our story, and that of the children of Angola. I am honored to be among a group of people committed to impacting the world for good, truly making a difference.”
