Hello LPCS Friends and Supporters!
Wow,
I can’t believe that a year has gone by! It seems like not too long
ago, I was packing up all my things and preparing to move to Chicago. I
had no idea what I was getting myself into at the time. Now
I
would like to take a moment to thank everyone that I have had the
pleasure working with this year. I am sorry to have to say good-bye to
all the people that I have come to know and build relationships with
during my time as the Volunteer Coordinator. I leave with a jam-packed
year’s worth of experience under my belt, which can only help me in my
future endeavors. I will definitely miss the chatty banter with Guests
as they come back to the Shelter for the night as well as the volunteers
I have become close with throughout the year. I leave here knowing that
I have contributed to an organization that is truly dedicated to its
mission in providing people the support and resources necessary to make
positive and lasting changes to their lives.
It
has truly been an honor to work alongside such a dedicated staff and
family of volunteers and I will miss you all very much (but maybe not
enough to survive another winter-haha, I will be thinking of all of you
when it is 65 degrees and I am sitting on the beach in California in the
middle of January).
There
will be a new Lutheran Volunteer Corps Member starting in Mid-August.
If there is one word of advice I can give to the future Volunteer
Coordinator, it would be to jump into the job- you’ll meet some of the
most interesting as well as the most good-hearted folks here. Enjoy your
time here; it will be over before you know it!
Thank you once again for this wonderful opportunity. I will hold it close to my heart always.
