"There is no limit to
the amount of good you can do if you don't care who gets the credit."
Ronald Reagan
In July we celebrate "Volunteerism". This month we acknowledged our volunteers here at Juniper Village with a Volunteer Breakfast, educated our community on becoming Hospice Volunteers, educated community members on the Retired Volunteer Senior Program, and made pies for a community service project in Conneautville, PA.
At Juniper, we also believe in acknowledging others for sticking their necks out over and beyond. On July 23, we held a Volunteer Recognition Ceremony along with a Wine and Cheese Ceremony for several community members. Executive Director, Jennifer Musone & Christa Battin, President of the Meadville Chamber of Commerce acknowledged each honoree with a special written bio and plaque for their community service.
We enjoyed and were honored to have so many other community members come out to recognize these special citizens as well. The following individuals were recognized for their commitment and dedication to our community:
Mark Kilburn - Current Insurance Broker/Consultant for the DJB Group and former Free-lance Writer for the Meadville Tribune. His "Personality Profiles" made so many people feel special and important.
Kim Lengling - United States Air Force Veteran and Co-Founder of the local non-profit organization "Embracing Our Veterans". Kim also is the owner of a local marketing consultant organization, Full Circle Events, LLC. Her love for the Veteran goes over and beyond!
PAWS Pet Therapy - Ruth Prest and Sue Anderson - This exceptional group of over 70 trained dogs provides exceptional pet therapy to our Elder's here at Juniper Village but also to many other local nursing facilities, schools, hospitals, and other non-profit organizations.
