In honor of the men, women and children and all rescue service personnel and volunteers that lost their lives on September 11th 8 years ago the volunteers of the Giles Retired Senior Volunteer Program came together to hold a special day of service and remembrance project at the Giles Christian Mission.
Fourteen volunteer members of Giles RSVP provided a total of over 42 hours sorting, folding, organizing shoes, painting walls, staining racks, and changing over the inventory from summer to fall and winter. Those that participated were Barbara Bailey, Janice Cochran, Charlotte Hazelwood, Ann Lawson, Pat Laughlin, Sue Meredith, Joan Peek, JR Peek, Karen Pluth, Charlotte
Sartin, Darlene Stafford, Lois Tabor, Marcia Zanetich and Peter Zanetich.
Volunteers enjoyed a delicious lunch provided by the Mission to show their appreciation of this fabulous team effort! The day passed quickly with laughter and team work and the spirit of patriotism. We thank these and other members of Giles RSVP who served at various work sites during the day in helping your community and showing your patriotic spirit and observance.
