LUM Celebrates Volunteers
LUM Annual Volunteer Appreciation Reception
As part of National Volunteer Week, the Lafayette Urban Ministry family gathered yesterday to honor the heart and soul of the organization — the volunteers. Hosted by Terri Anderson, LUM volunteer coordinator, and Wes Tillett, LUM executive director, the LUM Volunteer Appreciation Reception was a heartfelt celebration of the individuals who make the LUM mission possible. This special event included inspiring remarks, well-deserved awards, and fellowship over refreshments.
Special recognition was given to the LUM volunteers who went above and beyond this past year. Leading the way in volunteer service were Nina & Rob Morgan, who contributed 603 & 453.5 hours, respectively; and Tricia Sembroski, who contributed 539.75 hours.
