[Missouri-l] June's Member Of the Month

[Denny Huff]

Congratulations to Cathie Brauner chosen for June's MCB Member of the Month
Award. Thanks for all you do for MCB.

Qualifications and how to nominate someone is listed below.

________________ 

MS Cathie Brauner is a fairly new member of the Friendship Club in Joplin
having joined us in June 2005. 

 

Since that time she has served as chair  of the Public Relations Committee.
She is presently serving as Vice President of the Friendship Club, and Chair
of the Health Benefits Committee for MCB.  

 

While serving as Public Relations chair she was able to get recognition for
the club through many local organizations.  She set up a phone number where
persons wanting to learn more about blindness, or about the club, could
contact the club for helpful information.  She developed brochures to be
left in doctor and Ophthalmologist offices telling about blindness and the
local affiliate.  

 

There are many chores which the club has called on her to perform and she
has always willingly and cheerfully accepted and fulfilled these requests.  

 

Last fall she accepted the Chair of the Health Benefits Committee and has
since done an outstanding job.  

 

 I am therefore nominating her for Outstanding Member of the month.  Members
such as MS Brauner are an asset to our affiliate and to MCB.  

 

Nominated by: Franklin Johnson

 

The Member of the Month Committee is sorry for being late in announcing
June's Member of the Month winner. The ACB Convention and vacations delayed
this month's nomination.

blind.
