Spotlight Article By Carolyn Borchardt
I am presently volunteering for several organizations. I am a member of the Lake County Retired Teachers’ Association board. I serve on the Communications Committee. I send out information to every member whose email address is on file regarding legislation, volunteer opportunities and reminders for upcoming due. I am also the president of my Sigma Chapter of Delta Kappa Gamma Society International, which is a Women Educators Society. We meet 7-8 times a year and I create the agendas, run the meetings and send the members any important information involving meetings and volunteer opportunities. I am also president of Lakeshore Community Concerts. For the concert association I prepare and submit grant applications, do publicity, schedule meetings, write agendas, run meetings, and participate in “Night Out Against Crime”, Munster Chamber of Commerce meetings and Highland/Griffith Chamber of Commerce meetings once a month. I am a member of a group of women who crochet around fleece baby blankets which we donate to babies born at both St. Catherine’s and Community Hospitals. I love my volunteer time and hope you will be inspired to volunteer for something dear to your heart. There are so many opportunities that fit each of our interests.
