T McLain Honored at Farewell Luncheon | |
|
T McLain, one of the founding leaders of Penny's Worth and head of the thrift shop's donation-sorting and store-stocking crew, is leaving our area with her husband, Dave, to live in Williamsburg, VA. For 25 years, T and Dave have faithfully served Trinity and the greater community and they will be missed! T led the way in creating a vibrant and popular local shop where shoppers can find everything from children's school clothes to decorative home and table ware.
Present and former Penny's Worth volunteers gathered for a festive salad luncheon in Benedict Hall on January 5, in honor of T, where they reminisced and shared stories of working with T at Penny's Worth. Debbie Hooper, a loyal Penny's Worth volunteer, wrote and presented a brief history of Penny's Worth as well as a Tribute to T.
