At Your Service

Thank You to our Local Volunteers

Volunteerism hits close to home with me. Growing up in Michigan, my mother was always involved in the community. I remember hopping in the car for Meals on Wheels visits and seeing piles of papers on her desk while she was President of both the PTA and Junior Woman’s Club the same year. She even coached my soccer team at the local park district and travel team level until I was 18. Her time and dedication to her community were undeniable and profoundly impacted me.

Due to her influence, I consider myself a “semi-pro” in volunteering. Although I am no longer on the soccer fields with my kids, I still enjoy spending my time with the people I meet through the PTA and the Downers Grove Junior Woman’s Club, as well as the Boards of the Downers Grove Swim & Racquet Club and the Education Foundation of District 58.
