A COLLAGE OF CAUSES

AND MORE CAUSES...


 
Our Goodwill Ambassadors have been very busy this year.

They entertained the troops "Bob Hope Style" this summer on the 4th of July.

A few enjoyed the "Days of Old" at Walnut Hill, the world's most prestigious driving competition.

Our animal lovers have volunteered to help out the folks at the Humane Society at the Lollipop Farm.

Others welcomed visitors to our local county fair.

Things got exciting as the motorcycles revved up for "Operation Patriot".

Hundreds of t-shirts were collected for the veterans.

Mary Therese & Kent Friel entertained a group of mothers and daughters for a special evening entitled "You Can Be…"

Here our Goodwill Ambassador visits with one of Rochester's favorite mascots for the Red Wing Baseball Team. Catherine threw out the first ball.

Some of the Goodwill Ambassadors helped box up books for Kenya. Julia organized the event and the group was spotlighted on Channel 13's "Bright Spot".

Eight of Goodwill ambassadors and models helped out at the annual Ad Council Golf Tournament.

Here our Goodwill ambassador Chris, is helping out the Children's Institute in conjunction with the Rochester Ad Council. He along with eleven other models volunteered their time.

Halloween is always a fun time for the kids and seniors. Fun was had by all at the Woodside Manor Nursing Home especially by resident, Theresa Zubert.

It is important to contribute to one's community. That is how Goodwill Ambassador's Kellie and Todd feel. At a recent conference, they offered these thoughts.

"Life is what you make of it. Keep your eye on the prize." ~Kellie

"We have something to learn from everyone. Everyone and everything we come in contact with has something to contribute to our lives." ~Todd

We planted a beautiful Native Red Bud tree in Durand Eastman Park.
Thirty Goodwill ambassadors marched proudly in Rochester's Memorial Day Parade. What a fantastic tribute to our veterans! The GWA's were certainly in great company, and loved every minute of it!
The Goodwill Ambassadors had a wonderful time marching in the Lilac Festival Parade. It was beautiful! Dick Colacino's 1963 fire truck, brought in from Newark, was a big hit!
The troops were mobilized!
44 Goodwill Ambassadors from
Mary Therese Friel, LLC marched through 7 inches of wet snow, braved the winds and smiled all the way (as they picked ice out of their hair!) What a great day--what troopers these brave volunteers were!
