This year the LWTG community selected Board Member Jenni Freeburg to receive the Miss Mary Award. Jenni, a mom of three, held two positions: Co-Treasurer and Technology Chair! Always timely in paying our bills and solving our tech questions, she also helped with other aspects of our program. She's a great sounding board to our staff, and we appreciate all the ideas she shares. We are so fortunate to have a committed, hard-working volunteer like Jenni.
This is what her peers said about Jenni...
"Thanks to Jenni for carrying the burden of two board positions this year. Having Jenni's kind, thoughtful approach to sharing information about technology issues, struggles, and problem solving has been extremely helpful to the teachers and other board members. We appreciate her so much."
"Jenni has shown so much dedication to our program, arriving early to help and staying late to pack up, chat and brainstorm. She is super invested in our program, and I'm grateful for her commitment!"

Janini was the inspiration for this award, as she exemplified the spirit of what LWTG Parenting Ed can be. Not only did she attend EVERY parenting ed event we offered, but her husband attended many as well. In class Janani would share her key take-aways with her peers: how she was implementing best practices at home and the positive results she was experiencing with her family. Congratulations, Janani!

As a seasoned parent, we appreciated Julie's willingness to not only attend parenting events she may have attended in the past, but to also share with the group her parenting successes around each topic. Thank You, Julie!
