Volunteer Appreciation

The Good Neighbor Center would like to recognize Dalton's Northwest Catering for the generous amount of food they provide to the shelter. There are three meals, plus snacks, served to our nine families each day, and we rely on our community to help keep our shelves stocked with food. Dinners are cooked by volunteers on a nightly basis. The food Dalton's Catering donates usually ends up being served that night or as a special treat the next day for breakfast or lunch.

We would like to thank, Dave Dalton, for supporting the Good Neighbor Center for all these years. His generosity is truly appreciated and helps in so many ways. In further recognition, Good Neighbor Center would like to recognize Dalton's Northwest Catering with a Donor Appreciation Certificate. Please visit our website at http://goodneighborcenter.org/volunteer_appreciation1.php to see the recognition.

In addition, we will be writing a short article in our July newsletter to show our gratitude. To sign up for this newsletter, please go to http://goodneighborcenter.org/news.php. .

This month, for the first time, we would like to recognize an outstanding donor. Linda McDaniel is a coupon shopper, also known to us as “the Coupon Lady.” With the support of her husband Jim, she collects newspapers throughout her neighborhood and spends hours looking for what she refers to as “good deals.” Taking advantage of double coupon days and traveling from store to store, Linda gets dozens of items for pennies on the dollar. Some of these items include shampoo, razors, nail polish and make-up, band aids, batteries, baby formula, cereal, Gatorade, coffee filters and school and office supplies. This list could go on and on, she uses some of the items for her family, but most of them are for charity. Linda donates to several local non-profits, but most of her supplies are delivered monthly to Good Neighbor Center.

Good Neighbor Center houses nine families at a time, and the need for food, hygiene items, cleaning supplies, medicine, school and office supplies is growing. We rely on donations from the community to meet these needs.

Using her expertise in couponing and bargain shopping, Linda has greatly benefited our shelter. With the utmost sincerity, we thank you, Linda, for the endless hours you spend finding ways to help our residents, and for your ongoing dedication and commitment to the Good Neighbor Center.

Good Neighbor Center would like to recognize John Dean of Absolute Office of Oregon for his support and generosity to our organization. John Dean owns an office furniture company and works hard to meet people’s needs each and every day. Recently, John stopped by the shelter to deliver household donations and inquired about any special needs. The ongoing needs of the families in shelter are always our top priority, but it is nice for our staff to have adequate work spaces, so we asked John if he could help us with one employee’s desk that was falling apart at the seams. For years, the staff have made due with cast off furniture, most of it made of particle board, which has a tendency to wear out easily. John said that he may be able to help. He went to his truck, retrieved a tape measure and proceeded to get office dimensions.

The next week, John arrived hauling a large cherry colored office desk with a bookshelf to match. Needless to say, our employee was surprised and thrilled and the look on her face when she walked into her office was priceless.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers and donors is vital to the continued success of our center. It is easy to take a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” when someone has been supportive as John Dean. This is the third office he has refurnished here. Thank you, John. Your kindness and thoughtfulness are greatly appreciated!

The Good Neighbor Center relies on many volunteers to do different tasks here at the shelter. Everyone plays their own part so that we can better serve the homeless families in our community. Tom Owens is a dedicated volunteer who serves as an overnight host at the Good Neighbor Center. An overnight host is an adult volunteer that comes to the shelter at 9:30pm with a pillow and a blanket and stays until 6am, when staff arrives. This position is for security and safety purposes, we want to make sure all residents are following the guidelines and obeying curfew.

Tom’s service commitment has been ongoing for several years, even filling in additional nights when needed. The overnight host position is an especially important role here at the shelter, as it saves over $80,000 a year in funding that is not available to pay staff to sleep here.

We rely on the help and support of our community so that we can continue to meet the needs of our homeless families. Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you”, and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Tom has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you, Tom, for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

The Good Neighbor Center would like to recognize Dorothy Sackett for her volunteer commitment at the shelter. Dorothy first inquired about our summer program before the end of the last school year. She had arranged for our summer school kids to have a few plots in our local community garden. She wanted to give the children at Good Neighbor Center the opportunity to learn about the environment and the art of horticulture.

In addition to working countless hours on her own in the garden area to prepare the space, Dorothy, a retired teacher, taught several lessons to the kids. They learned about bees and pollination, chickens, composting, and they even had a special trip to a local farm to spend a few dollars on local produce. She was helpful in keeping the kids on task while making sure they had a great time learning useful gardening practices. Dorothy came by several times, after the conclusion of our program to bring fresh produce to the families at Good Neighbor Center. Kids from the shelter were ecstatic to eat their own home-grown green beans.

Dorothy has a generous heart and a wonderful attitude and we cannot thank her enough for the support that she gives to the Good Neighbor Center. The volunteers at the Good Neighbor Center play a huge part in the success of our organization. With their help we are able to continue to meet the needs of the homeless families with children.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital. The few minutes we take out of the day to say “Thank You” and “You Are Appreciated”, is nothing compared to the time that Dorothy has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you, Dorothy, for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

Megan Lyons and her family are dedicated volunteers at the Good Neighbor Center. Megan originally contacted the shelter inquiring about how we celebrate birthdays for the families that are homeless or if there was a need to provide snacks or cook nightly meals. Soon after Megan came in and became familiar with our center she began buying gifts, writing cards and baking various birthday treats for those who were celebrating a birthday while living in shelter.

Megan’s commitment extends to frequent phone calls or emails inquiring about upcoming birthdays or holiday parties that she can help with. Megan makes a point to always involve her own children in everything she does in support of the Good Neighbor Center. While some parents prefer to give the gifts and treats to their children in confidentiality, others are open to having Megan’s family come in and celebrate with them. Megan understands and respects the different needs of each family.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Without them, we would not be able to continue to meet the needs of our homeless families with children. Megan and her family are prime examples of selfless givers. Their commitment to their community is admirable.

Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Megan has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Megan for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

The Good Neighbor Center relies on many volunteers to do different tasks here at the shelter. Everyone plays their own part so that we can better serve the homeless families in our community.

Jennifer and Karen are a part of the wonderful staff at Fidelity National Title. In February of 2011, Jennifer contacted the Good Neighbor Center in hopes to learning more about our organization and how their team could get involved and make a difference.

At the shelter we have many folks whose birthdays fall during their six week stay. It is our goal to make families feel at home and welcome in the shelter environment. Jennifer and Karen came up with the idea of providing gifts, cards and desserts to give to each individual celebrating a birthday at the shelter. Every month they email the staff to get a list of all the birthdays. Special trips are made the day of each person’s birthday and a personalized present, card and treat are delivered.

Because of the caring staff at Fidelity National Title our homeless families with children are recognized as individuals. This commitment to our families not only makes them feel special on their birthdays but is also a great demonstration of selfless giving.

We rely on the help and support of our community so that we can continue to meet the needs of our homeless families. Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Fidelity National Title has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Jennifer and Karen for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

This month, for the first time, we would like to recognize an outstanding child volunteer. Ezra Kennedy is 12 years old and, with the support of his family, he fulfills a weekly commitment at the Good Neighbor Center. Since September 2011, Ezra has created lesson plans for children ages 2-5 years old. He leads Preschool Club for a full hour in reading books, singing songs, playing games, arts and crafts and occasional outdoor activities. Ezra demonstrates a kind and caring demeanor and is a positive role model to children living in shelter.

In addition to his volunteer services at Good Neighbor Center, Ezra volunteers at the Ronald McDonald House and at Avamere, doing crafts and visiting with residents. He enjoys playing the piano, reading, drawing, playing chess, practicing Jujitsu and riding his bike in his spare time. He is very involved with his church and plays an active role in the community as a Boy Scout.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “Thank You” and that “You Are Appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Ezra has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Ezra for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

Mary Petillo is a dedicated volunteer at the Good Neighbor Center, and has been a part of our growing family for many years. She originally started volunteering with St. James Episcopal Church, where she helped provide meals to the homeless families. Mary also helps coordinate the Adopt-a-Family program through her church.

Specializing as a professional hair dresser, Mary wanted to extend her talents to families living at our shelter. She offered her services to Good Neighbor Center and had an overwhelming outcome. Most of the families were delighted to have a free haircut offered to them. Haircuts can be an expense that exceeds many low income family’s budgets.

Mary Petillo has been making it a priority to visit Good Neighbor Center every six to eight weeks giving most homeless families an opportunity to take advantage of the wonderful volunteer service that Mary provides all in her own spare time.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “Thank You” and “You are appreciated”, is nothing compared to the time that Mary has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Mary for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

We here at the Good Neighbor Center would like to recognize Jai Ferrier for his ongoing volunteer commitment here at the shelter. He has dedicated many hours as an overnight host and also helping decorate the shelter for the holidays.

Jai was introduced to the Good Neighbor Center through the LDS church and came to stay overnight as an overnight host. This position being covered by a volunteer saves the shelter over $80,000 a year.

After talking with staff about his talent as an artist, Jai offered to come and help decorate the windows. He spent several hours sketching and painting the doors and windows. The children’s faces lit up when they arrived to see Frosty and Santa Claus. Having a festive atmosphere around the shelter sure helps boost the moral in an environment where there is crisis.

The volunteers at the Good Neighbor Center play a huge part in the success of our organization. With their help we are able to continue to meet the needs of the homeless families with children.

Remembering and recognizing them is vital and taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and “you are appreciated”, is nothing compared to the time that Jai has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Jai for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

The Good Neighbor Center relies on many volunteers to do different tasks here at the shelter. Everyone plays their own part so that we can better serve the homeless families in our community.

Parisjat is from Thailand and at an early age Parisjat learned the importance of giving back to society. Last year Parisjat started a charitable organization named after her grandfather, “My Pridi Charities”. They have various events throughout the year to help raise awareness for local charities as well as The Mercy Center in Thailand.

Parisjat has been serving as a volunteer at the Good Neighbor Center for quite some time now. She came in donating items one day and inquired about helping out in any way. She was very open and willing to help in any way that she could. Since then Parisjat has helped with holiday parties, volunteering in our summer school program bringing sack lunches and coordinating activities for the children to do and all along having her own children involved. Currently she is coordinating a family triathlon in September to help raise money for the Children’s Program at the Good Neighbor Center.

Parisjat has been an exceptional model to those in her community. Several of her friends and neighbors have come in to the shelter to donate items off our current needs list as well as household items for the families moving into apartments.

We rely on the help and support of our community so that we can continue to meet the needs of our homeless families. Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Parisjat has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Parisjat for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

In November 2008, John Micallef, Rico’s son built a chain link fence that surrounded the playground area for his Eagle Scout Project. The fence was a great addition to the shelter grounds creating a safe enclosure for the children to play in at the center. Rico and his son have shown a magnificent display of leadership and compassion for the community in the years they have been volunteers here at the shelter.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Rico has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Rico for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

The Good Neighbor Center relies on many volunteers to do different tasks here at the shelter. Everyone plays their own part so that we can better serve the homeless families in our community.

Ida Wilkes has been serving as a volunteer at the Good Neighbor Center since we opened our doors in 1999. She came in as a meal host serving with St. James Episcopal Church. Prior to that, she served as a dedicated volunteer in the basement of the Tigard United Methodist Church where the shelter originated.

Serving meals at the GNC has been a favorite for Ida, in addition to serving on the Good Samaritan Committee for her church. She comes to the shelter every month getting a list of our current needs. For over 10 years Ida has faithfully come on the third Tuesday of every month making the famous meal of homemade turkey, stuffing, mash potatoes and gravy. A hot meal always seems to put a smile on the faces of the adults and children in the house, as well as Ida. Networking with other nonprofits and food banks, Ida has also been known to be a terrific helper distributing excess food items.

While Ida has memorable moments from the GNC, all the “thank you’s’” and compliments on meals served has been the best reward from her service work here at the shelter. In addition to serving at the Good Neighbor Center for many years, Ida also worked at St. Mary’s Home for Boys after she retired from teaching full time. Later in her career, Ida decided to go back to school and get her Masters of Special Education. She drove a special education school bus in the mornings and went to school at night. Juggling many tasks at once, Ida still remained faithful to her church and to volunteering on a regular basis.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Ida has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Ida for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

Jean Stevens is a dedicated volunteer at the Good Neighbor Center, and has been a part of our growing family since 2005. She originally started volunteering through the Lions Club, where she helped provide meals to the homeless families.

The Lions Club picks different organizations to help support all year long, not just during the holidays. Being an active member with the club, Jean was inspired to branch out and involve more of the community. Soon after, the Tigard, Lake Oswego and the King City Lions rotated quarterly meal host commitments here at the shelter. This gave many new people an opportunity to help out and experience the joy in serving the homeless community.

In 2008, a monthly meal host commitment came open and Jean decided that it would be a perfect fit for her. The first Wednesday of every month Jean brings kielbasa kabobs, this is a known favorite for residents and staff. In addition, Jean spends time volunteering at the local Tigard Senior Center.

Jean has inspired many people, her generous heart and strong will is shown in all she does. Jean was forced to raise her children independently years ago, when there were fewer resources like the Good neighbor Center. Jean understands what it is like to struggle in life.

There are many memorable moments that Jean can reflect back on, times that she will carry with her forever. A time when a small boy appeared in the kitchen asking simple questions, like “what are you cooking?” and “how do you make that?” Another time when a young single mother dishing up dinner for her two small children, then sitting at the table with them having her face buried in her hands. The hard times families face put a lot of stress on the parents. Often it is a result in the breakdown of the family system and young people with big responsibilities.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and “you are appreciated”, is nothing compared to the time that Jean has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Jean for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

Tanya Maldonado is a dedicated volunteer at the Good Neighbor Center, and has been a part of our growing family since 2005. She originally started volunteering at the Clark Center where she helped serve meals to an average of 90 men. Shortly after her six year commitment there, she volunteered through St. James Episcopal Church and provided Thanksgiving dinner for the Good Neighbor Center.

An opportunity for a monthly commitment came open in 2009 to host a meal every month at the Good Neighbor Center, Tanya signed up immediately. This gives her time to plan each dinner according to the amount of residents in shelter and utilize all of our donated food. There are several times that Tanya can reflect back and know that what she is doing is making a difference in many people’s lives. Often she remembers cooking a dinner and having some of the homeless families ask to help prepare the meal with her.

Tanya enjoys helping others. She has spent many hours volunteering her time at the Suicide Crisis Hotline. In addition she works full time as an Employment Counselor at Portland Community College. Tanya recently began dedicating her time after work on Thursdays to come to the Good Neighbor Center and meet with the residents helping them explore job opportunities, assist them in writing resumes and learning to discover their hidden abilities. Tanya has touched so many lives in special ways with her natural talent to make people feel self worth in even the darkest of situations.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Tanya has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Tanya for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

Jay Leet is a dedicated volunteer at the Good Neighbor Center, and has been a part of our growing family since 1999. He originally started volunteering at the Tigard United Methodist Church, where he helped provide meals to the homeless families.

Specializing as an English teacher at Tigard High School, Jay had the goal of getting kids involved in service work. He put up a sign-up sheet in his classroom and encouraged the children to give a helping hand by doing several activities in the local community. Some of the activities included going to the retirement community and hanging up Christmas lights, going downtown and serving at Meals On Wheels and once a month cooking dinner at the family homeless shelter, the Good Neighbor Center.

Jay has set a great example for many growing adolescents all around him. One boy in particular sent him a lengthy letter expressing his appreciation for the opportunity to give back. He had never been taught the importance of helping others and after the experience with Jay, he now had been shown that there are people out there that are less fortunate and need help. We can all learn from the superior example that Jay has displayed.

After retiring as a teacher in 2004, Jay continued to coordinate volunteer projects for the Tigard High School Key Club. A memorable time for Jay was when 25 high school kids volunteered their time at the shelter painting the back half of the building. A couple of the students felt compelled to use their talent in one of the rooms, spending a total of 48 hours painting a mural of the majestic mountain tops of the great Northwest.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and “you are appreciated”, is nothing compared to the time that Jay has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Jay for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

Marge Henry is a dedicated volunteer at the Good Neighbor Center, and has been a part of our growing family since 2003. Marge provides childcare for the children in shelter while their parents attend different classes to help them to become confident and successful.

Marge first started volunteering when she was 13 years old in a small town called Jasper in the Canadian Rockies. It was then when she discovered that volunteering was her true passion and she has continued to volunteer ever since.

Over the years, Marge has accumulated many items to aid her in the mission of entertaining the children. Marge carries a medium size bag with her, it contains puppets, games, bubbles and even pretend menus with cut-out food so that the kids can act like they are serving in a diner. It is a huge hit with the children so much that Marge has thought about insuring her precious bag so that it would be safe in the case of a mishap.

Teaching has always been something that Marge has loved. When her own children became of age, Marge began teaching 4-H Campfire girls how to do childcare. Sharing all the do’s and don’ts and at the same time spreading the incredible joy this has brought to Marge Henry.

Marge has touched many lives over the years and a good reminder of that was when Marge was doing some local shopping and heard a loud shriek. Catching her by surprise, out of nowhere comes running a little girl shouting “Grandma Marge, Grandma Marge!!!” The excitement that this little girl displayed holds a special place in Marge’s heart.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Marge has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Marge for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

Bruce Kaiser is a dedicated volunteer here at the Good Neighbor Center. Bruce started volunteering his time here January 11, 2025 with the Kiwanis Club. Bruce is a dedicated member of the GNC board of directors, also the coordinator for the Kiwanis Club, Men’s Methodist Group and the Sherwood Key Club. These groups are committed to serving dinner here at the shelter every month. In addition, Bruce goes and picks up the Oregon Food Bank order for the shelter once a month. In his spare time, Bruce comes by with his weed whacker and does the yard maintenance for the shelter.

Bruce stays motivated to serve as a volunteer through reflecting on various touching moments he has experienced at the shelter. One of these moments accrued when Bruce was walking into the kitchen with the OFB, he witnessed teacher Tom teaching a single mother “life skills” that this woman had never been taught. Another time, Bruce overheard Tom teaching a single father how to create a job resume. It is moments like these that we are reminded of all the ways we serve and touch people’s lives in different ways.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Bruce has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Bruce for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

The Good Neighbor Center we would like to recognize Jim Jones for his ongoing commitment and dedication to the shelter over the last 10 plus years. Jim expressed interest in helping homeless individuals at a young age. His father worked on the railroad and Jim spent many days helping his dad. Jim was exposed to many of homeless men, their lifestyle encouraged him to get an education, but it also gave him a better understanding of what it was like to struggle and be without.

Jim Jones first started volunteering at the center as an overnight host several nights a week. Jim decided to fill the position as a monthly meal host for the third Wednesday of every month.

At first Jim, his wife Marci, and his son Alex cooked a variety of food, then after talking with a few residents, they expressed interest in BBQ chicken and it just so happened that is Jim’s specialty. Jim has been bringing BBQ chicken/mac-n-cheese dinner ever since and Jim says he hears “There’s the BBQ chicken man!” when he walks through the front door, it’s a definite hit around here.

Over the years there have been many memorable moments that Jim reflects back on with a smile. On one occasion, Jim was cooking dinner, a young woman asked for Jim’s assistance with a boyfriend who was giving her trouble. Jim went to get a “friend” to help him, defused the situation and Jim still chuckles remembering that heroic day.

Another time, a small boy was celebrating his birthday and Jim overheard the little boy’s brother saying that he wished he had a present to give his brother for his birthday. Jim then took a trip to the local toys store and purchased a gift card for the boy’s birthday. The family was delighted and the smiles are ones that Jim will never forget.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “Thank You” and that “You are Appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Jim has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Jim for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

Roger and Becky Petit are dedicated volunteers here at the Good Neighbor Center. They originally started as a donors bringing in items to donate and were interested in what it was we did here at the shelter. After being informed they asked if they could sign up to host a dinner. Shortly after providing a dinner, a monthly commitment meal host slot came open and they jumped at the opportunity.

Roger and Becky have been providing a dinner here the first Thursday of every month since May of 2009. This entails coordinating a group of friends and family to cook for 30-35 homeless individuals once a month. They buy any food needed for the meal, prepare it and have it ready to be served by 6pm.

The shelter not only needs meal hosts on a regular basis, but we also need overnight hosts. An ONH is here for the primary purpose of emergencies only. Roger has spent 112 hours volunteering for this position in addition to meal hosting. Roger is listed as an emergency ONH in case someone cancels. Roger is very reliable and has come in on numerous occasions, last minute.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that Roger and Becky have given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you Roger and Becky for your ongoing dedication and commitment!

David Aldridge has been a dedicated volunteer here at the center since December of 1999. He has devoted 322 nights, equaling 2,576 hours of his time here to helping serve as an overnight host. We rely on volunteers for this position on a nightly basis. If we were to have to pay someone for the hours of service, say a minimum of $10.00, David would have earned $25,760.00 for his service alone.

Some interesting information about David is that his address has changed four times during the 10 years, but his phone number has always remained the same. David played Santa Claus for the shelter in 2008 and he was in charge of gathering the presents together and putting them outside of the families doors. Inside one of the bags of presents was a talking toys that yelled some fun sound every time it slightly moved. So it was David’s task to get the toy to the back of the hallway without it making a noise and waking up the children and spoiling the surprise. David still gets a chuckle thinking back on that night, he had quite the time acting as if he was walking on eggshells.

There were weeks and months of continued discussion about the excess donations that we had at the GNC. We needed another nonprofit that would come and pick up. David suggested Desseret Industries and set up a meeting. D.I. is now a life saver to our center by coming once a week with a small semi and picking up all the excess donations from the week, in turn they provide to other families who are in need.

Remembering and recognizing our volunteers is vital to the continued success of our center. Taking a few minutes out of the day to say “thank you” and that “you are appreciated” is nothing compared to the time that David has given to the Good Neighbor Center. Thank you David for your ongoing dedication and commitment!
