One of our most valued volunteers, who in the past took charge of site management, and who, in addition to co-chair Margaret Pokorny, is one person who makes spectacular bows, fell in Maine over Thanksgiving and was in rehab during Wreath Week. Nancy Devereaux, you were missed, and expect you back with us in 2020. Another co-chair, Francine Crawford, had hip replacement surgery four weeks before the project and was clearly limping around at half capacity. Kathy Dietz struggled with shoulder issues, Laurie Thomas’s carpal tunnel syndrome is always a concern, and we think a good third of the volunteers had some version of a winter cold. Nevertheless, we soldiered on, as the spectacular wreath below shows. A few crutches won’t stop us – although we’ll stock up on tissues next year.
