Marissa Wagner |
National Volunteer Week 2017 just wrapped up. We'd like to do a special shout out to some special people who have made Tioga County a healthier
place to live, work, and play in 2017!
First of all, a big "THANK YOU!" to our dedicated Board Members, which includes our Administrative Committees, and Workgroup Volunteers. They are constantly making connections by crossing sector boundaries, brainstorming, and putting together projects that benefit all Tioga County residents. Their dedication to our mission, "Fostering strong community connections..." truly shows as our organization grows and better serves our local residents' needs.
Miss Marissa Wagner is our current "intern" at the office. By the way, Marrissa is gaining no college credits for her work here. (Learn more about Marissa in this past newsletter.) Just for the sake of gaining experience and getting out into the community, she has helped develop curriculum and
prevention activities
for our summer recreation Fit For Life staff and our office staff. She was also very instrumental in coming up with an art project theme, "the March of Times." This theme was adopted by our Elder Services workgroup w
hich then grew other partnerships and became a cross generational "students + senior citizens" art project. One of the project events was recently done in a local senior center. Her creativity and drive make her an invaluable part of the team.
Thank you, Marissa!

students visited the Partnership office to do a "bit" (a trailer full!) of mulching and yard clean-up during the MU BIG Event on Earth Day, Saturday, April 22nd. We are ever so grateful to these volunteers! Our office is looking sharp!
