1) How are you connected to GiGi\u2019s Playhouse?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
In September 2012, I was contemplating retirement (in June 2013) from a long career teaching Special Education students.\u00a0 I wasn\u2019t sure what activities would fill my new found free time.\u00a0 As fate would have it, I met Diane Husar at the first fundraiser for a future GiGi\u2019s Playhouse in the south suburbs.\u00a0 Immediately I knew I could be busy, fulfilled, and happy in retirement.\u00a0 I volunteered at their next fundraiser and have never left!!!<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
2) What free programs do you volunteer for?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
I was on the GiGi\u2019s Board for six years, and coordinated the Literacy program for the first five years of its existence.\u00a0 I was also a member of the moving\/build out committee when we found our present location.\u00a0 Currently, I lead the Leaps and Bounds program on the first Saturday of each month, and still tutor during each literacy session.\u00a0 Occasionally, I consult and advocate with families about any academic issues or questions they might have with their child\u2019s school district.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
3) What is your favorite part about volunteering?<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
What I love the most about volunteering at the Playhouse is interacting with the families and staff.\u00a0 We have such good people working and participating here.\u00a0 The energy is always high, and the effort put forth by everyone is phenomenal!\u00a0 It is a pleasure to spend time at GiGi\u2019s Playhouse\/Tinley Park!<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
