CVN Chair's Report
Though 2011 has just started, CVN has had a busy few weeks. We started the New Year by volunteering at A-SPAN's homeless shelter and, after a bit of transition in the Leadership Team, our calendar is quickly filling up. I'd like to extend a huge welcome to Kim Lamon-Loperfido, our new Social Chair, and to thank Meredith Meade, who continues to serve as Recurring Volunteering Chair. Together, we look forward to working with all of you to plan and implement a great assortment of fun and rewarding volunteer and social events. I'd also like to thank our out-going leadership team members: Jourdan Clandening (Communications Chair), Kelly Corbally (Social Chair), and Kellen MacBeth (Monthly Volunteering Chair). I couldn't have asked for a better group to work with! Finally, a huge thank you to Sharon Tewksbury-Bloom, our County Liaison, who is leaving us this month. Sharon's dedication to CVN has been above and beyond anything we could expected. She's patient, kind, and an exceptional leader and facilitator. Best of luck with your new adventures, Sharon! If you're looking to join in the fun as a leader of CVN or if you have ideas for future events, please come to our Volunteer Leader Training or send me a message. I'd love to hear from you! Tiffany
