Volunteer of the Month

Some firms like to honor the work of their employees with an award called 'Employee of the Week' or 'Employee of the Month.' Our charity has no such award. Actually, we have so many deserving donors and volunteers that it simply amazes me. I am often left speechless (hard to imagine!) with the kind and generous work of so many.

So, for the first time ever I am giving special mention to long-time volunteer Cynthia McGann. For years, Cynthia has supported School Count in a number of ways. She has often volunteered in a number of ways particularly when it comes to collecting winter clothing. Cynthia, for the past four years, has run her own 'Winter Wear' collection of clothing for the children we serve in the CPS system and south suburban schools.

This year Cynthia, for over a month, has been collecting winter clothing from three hockey clubs; the Hawks, Huskies and the Fenwick H.S. hockey club. Her collection is truly amazing. Cynthia, in conjunction with members of the various organizations has collected; 196 coats, 148 hats, 98 pairs of gloves/mittens, 33 scarves and 3 pairs of snow pants.

Just imagine how many children, heading to and from school, will be kept warm and dry this season!!!

Kudos to Cynthia!!!

Many thanks,
Dick
