Volunteer Of the Month - October
Volunteer of the Month for October - Andrea Kwako!
Andrea began volunteering this summer. Despite being with us for only about half a year, she has quickly become a staple at the farm! She regularly steps up to help when others call out and has taken over as barn lead on multiple shifts. Her daughter, Heidi, even joins in when she is able. Andrea is exceptionally friendly and always smiling, even when doing tough jobs! She was my right-hand gal during Party with a Purpose, helping all day (including the morning barn shift) and jumping in wherever there was a need. Below is a picture of Andrea and her daughter after Party with a Purpose with their favorite old man, Truffles!
Volunteer Of the Month - September
Volunteer of the Month for September - Deanna Scaggs!
Deanna plays an integral role with SHEW that you may not know about! For years she helped with barn shifts and was even part of the board. Now Deanna spends much of her time with her SHEW adopted horse, Luna (not pictured). While she still helps at events when she can, Deanna does most of her volunteering behind the scenes, helping with all things financial. She even does SHEW's taxes! Thank you for everything you do, Deanna!
