Thanks #2: Bev Buckley

I've been around volunteer organizations for a quarter century by now. Enough to recognize the rare someone who is truly, selflessly dedicated to the cause. For our condominium association, Bev is that person. She's re-upped for the volunteer Board for many years. She solicits bids for property signs. Landscapes the grounds not just for her unit, but everywhere. Enlists her grandchildren to do manual labor. Initiates friendly conversation with almost all the neighbors and knows them personally. As a Board volunteer, I am constantly receiving thanks from her for my work. I know that she also helps family members who are struggling with health concerns, and cuts hair for friends of hers. Once she paid the condo fee for someone who couldn't afford it. She defines generous.
