To recognize those who go above and beyond to welcome our newest members, I have created this column. To nominate a current member you’ve seen do so recently, please email a submission to: Cindymitchellrichards@outlook.com and describe how they have gone above and beyond to welcome our newest member(s).
This month, please join me in recognizing
Erin Schaefer
Outstanding Member of the Month

From the first time I met Erin, she did not seem like a new member, but one who welcomes the new members. She is a storyteller and wants to hear your story as well. She is a natural leader and reaches out to help when needed and has already hosted and co-hosted several coffees. You are invited to attend our coffee at her home this month! She often helps welcome newbies at our monthly luncheons and becomes a fast friend at any activity. Most recently, Erin agreed to help us find members to chair the various positions on our 2022-2023 board by sitting on the nominating committee. Well, not only did she give us several names to consider, but she is now slated for two of our board positions and has said she would be willing to help on others! We love to see this enthusiasm in our membership and is what makes Erin Schaefer our May Outstanding Member of the Month!
